#twatch Open Hardware Networked LCD Screen

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fun-little-hacks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Dangerous Prototype's #twatch is a DIY network appliance that displays real-time topic trends from Twitter. It can also show system statistics, RSS feeds, mail notifications, and more using a TCP server on port 1337 that accepts commands from LCD control programs like LCD Smartie (Windows) and LCDproc (Linux). Everything you need to build your own is on the project's page. We've covered this hardware hacker's work previously."

    Best way to monitor twitter is to pipe to /dev/null.
