A couple of weeks ago Leah and Ariel from Pownce suggested that someone build an app that shows a subset of the Pownce public feed with just the notes that contain the string “sxsw” for the upcoming SXSW Interactive festival. I teamed up with Rémi Toffoli who produced a nice flex app that used the stream that I created with the help of Chris and Dan.
The stream works a lot like the crawler I use for Powncified in that it runs on a Cron job every fifteen minutes but this one is updated live every time the stream is accessed. Daniel Burka submitted another design that I implemented using an XSLT transform of the feed in a PHP page which you may have noticed in the side bar.
Other implementations to check out are Augua Fresca’s that uses my stream and Jon Rohan’s that performs a search of the Pownce stream live on the client.
