MeMeme Twistie
I put a little twistie on the MeMeme list in Planet Intertwingly. The display uses Unicode characters, so you may have to install a font to see it. Additionally, the server code now caches the pages for both performance and robustness reasons.
Here’s the source: server, client.
Potential future directions:
- Convert this from an standalone application into a Venus template. Output could then be a partial XSLT template which is simply xsl:included by index.html.xslt. This would save a round trip on display.
- Convert this into a standalone widget which could be included on any page. In fact, this may already work.
- Produce a feed. The client code could then directly consume this feed instead of the JSON.
- In addition to Technorati Cosmos, support Bloglines Citations, Google Blogsearch, and possibly other feed search engines.
