Poor man’s message broadcast
admin 
Problem:
A client organizes a long duration sport event (8-10 hours or more) and he wishes to have a page where he sends the news while the event goes on. The page has to auto-refresh itself.
A good example could be IronmanLive.com when a event is running.
¿Do you have a simple solution? I found two ideas about it:
- Live blogging for wordpress. Outstanding plugin, also allowing Meteor technology. It can work alone too.
- Other solution: A page using javascript, and then to use Twitter as broadcast system.
This solution could be used in every site (different than WordPress). I will use a small javascript library with jQuery to get Twitter messages from an account.
Integrating the above solution with WordPress.
This is another quick & dirty solution to integrate to a WordPress page:
Broadcast demo: here
Instructions:
1-Download the template page
2-Install the template over the WordPress theme
3-Change the page code and select the account you desire. You can select more than one account.
3-Create a simple page on WordPress. Select the new template (Broadcast-demo)
4-Test the page.
By the way, the qTranslate – Twitter combination sucks. All the messages merge together in one twit. This is something what I will work in the next posts.
