How about you match only if at least two words are weather-related? Or at least 1 weather related + 1 location related, like "cold in new york."
- aviel 18y agoThanks! Yea it's definitely imperfect, but I'm limited by the functionality of the twitter search api, what i have been doing and what I can improve on is filtering out of common terms that involve weather related words, so for instance "ice cream", or in your case "cold brewed", which I am about to add to the exclusion list. granted this whole app has only about 15 hours of dev in it, so such a list is going to be FAR from perfect.
- randomwalker 18y agoOk. BTW, why are you using the twitter search API instead of Gnip?
- aviel 18y agoI definitely plan on switching to gnip. As i said, tweetweather is just something I put together after work the past week, grabbing from the search api was the quick and easy solution to getting tweets into the system. Gnip rocks.
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoCan you explain how you'd use Gnip in this instance? From reading the API docs, it doesn't sound like you can do anything with Gnip + Twitter other than get tweets from / to a particular Twitter user. So you can't get keyword-filtered results from the public timeline, I don't think. Am I missing it?
- aviel 18y agoYou're 100% correct. But I'm hoping they'll add the ability to use filters on the whole firehose in the near future.
- iamdave 18y agoI concur. There is definitely some room for improvement on the word filtering. I'm at Pac Sun (205 W Blackstock Rd # 210, Spartanburg, SC) Otherwise, I think this is an awesome idea. Keep it up.
