Looks like a good start to something potentially very useful.
Some suggestions:
I'd like to see how old a tweet is. I don't have any idea how fresh some of this information is (without clicking on the user and searching through their history).
Related to that, I'd also like a link to the original tweet, so that I can potentially follow any conversation on that tweet.
It'd also be nice if any hyperlinks in the tweets were active links, rather than just text that I need to cut/paste.
Something that's potentially a little harder would be to let the user determine the radius that they want to see tweets for. I'm in Minneapolis, and I'm seeing some tweets for Iowa and Wisconsin. Those could be useful to me, but I'd more likely want to filter those to a smaller radius.
- robinwarren 15y agoI'm getting some pretty consistent feedback on tweaks needed in UI now. I think modifying the radius should be possible, I'm using mongodb for storage and I think it has some nice geospatial capabilities. Thanks for the feedback.

- rmason 15y agoDefinitely need to show how old the tweet is in days. Every job I clicked on was expired. I do feel that you have built something quite useful.
- robinwarren 15y agoorganising them by date, ie Today/Yesterday/Later is high on my list. I figured it would be important for people coming back to the site after an initial visit. But for that I'd need people making an initial visit first hence I thought I'd wait until I'd got some positive feedback before doing that. Nothing on there should be more than 6 days old which was a guess by me as to how much history made sense to show. Possibly that needs to be more recent even, or maybe ordering by date will just make it less of a surprise when you find one which is gone already. Thanks.
- chc 15y agoSomething's borked with your date filtering, because I saw at least one tweet from Oct. 1.
- robinwarren 15y agoThanks, I'll check that out. I've only been running it for a couple of weeks and have been actively developing it during that time so have possibly broken something and missed deleting some tweets at some point.
