Deployed TwitCaps v0.94b (Location Search and Flic.kr)

  • Implemented Location-based Searching of Real-time Images. Click the “Location Search” button right beside the search box in the upper right. This is some seriously cool shit.
  • Added support for Flickr2Twitter / flic.kr image links. Still working on search support (takes forever because I need to make a total of 3 HTTP calls (one to Twitter, one to Unshorten the URL, and another to Flickr to get the links, phew)
  • Fixed a nasty bug where search results were using the Twitter User ID instead of Twitter username
  • Tuned the DB pool and HTTP threads to handle a much larger load in the wake of today’s U2 deluge.
