It shows the lastest 10 locations on google map in real time as they are being tweeted.

It uses gevent-socketio to push data to the client from the server.

6. Make a twitter app online: Go to http://dev.twitter.com Sign in Go to username>applications Create a new one

7. make twitterstream/private.py to have your Twitter app settings: consumer_key = "" consumer_secret = "" access_key = "" access_secret = ""

Example of a sample private.py: #---------------------------------

# these tokens are necessary for user authentication
consumer_key = "falshdOIHDsdlksnsd"
consumer_secret = "aslkfdjHLlKSNFDlksnadlLLFNS"
access_key = "islhdals-asedlfhsLLSFDIHWLFLSKDNLSDHFLS"
access_secret = "aehfialhdfOIFDHSLWSHDLSHdhLSDHSLDHSLHDHDLSHDLSH"

# These are keywords to search for in the tweets:
track = "oscar,oscars,awards,academyawards"

# the port of this server:
port = 8080

9. Run serve.py
