The Code4Lib conference is wrapping up today in Portland, Oregon. To help keep track of all the tools and projects mentioned in the conference tweets, Ed Summers (Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities) experimented with making a web app that “will watch the Twitter stream for #c4l15 tweets, and keep track of which URLs people are talking about.”
Code4Lib is “a volunteer-driven collective of hackers, designers, architects, curators, catalogers, artists and instigators from around the world, who largely work for and with libraries, archives and museums on technology ‘stuff,'” and much of the work showcased at the conference should be of interested to DHers.
Earlier this year, Summers used a similar method to compile urls mentioned in the #dlfforum tweets.
