Facebook and Twitter Scrapers

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

While working on a project recently I came across a client with the need for a Facebook and Twitter status on a website so I built javascript scrapers to pull their recent info.

I can see a lot of clients wanting this functionality and I’m happy that I now have the code in my repository.

See it in action over at http://pearhead.com

Can’t wait to use it on another project and really expand on the already extremely useful functionality.

*Side note @ Twitter: They deserve a kick to the groin for sending their json objects with improper contentType headers. I don’t like seeing warnings in my debug console!
