[dgplug-users] Twiview : a twitter based service that collates movie reviews

[sankarshan]

I couldn't find such a thing and, this is a bit too trivial to blog
about. So, here's what I am looking for. The "inspiration" being the
exit-reviews that most movie-based channels do with folks coming out
of the movie theaters (you know those - these are where everyone likes
the movies)

Have a twitter account - say @twiview. Folks send in their review
tweets to @twiview (via SMS/web/API etc). Example,

@twiview Watched Avatar in 2D, I wish I was not a miser and paid up
for 3D to watch the spectacular effects #avatar

Given a particular movie, the system should be able to create a
dashboard view of tweet-reviews for the movie and, if a certain
twitter user has sent in more lines, then can be grouped/threaded into
a conversation. Example,

The folks who watched Avatar said:

@sankarshan said

Watched Avatar in 2D, I wish I was not a miser and paid up for 3D to
watch the spectacular effects #avatar
Can you imagine the storage capacity used for rendering the scenes #avatar
Finally, watched in 3D, mind-blowing. Recommended #avatar

and, so forth.

The immediate constraints are:

- collecting enough reviews
- creating an intelligent dashboard

Does anyone want to give this a try ?
