The Twubble with Twitter
Dion Almaer interviewed me about Twubble for the Google Developer Podcast:
If you use Twitter, Twubble can look at your existing friends' friends and recommend new people for you to follow. It's a stupid simple idea, but I think the execution and fun factor have won people over.
I wrote Twubble in a couple nights of hacking in bed after the kid went to sleep. I used the latest Google Web Toolkit milestone which supports Java 5 (flawlessly from my experience). I was writing Javascript code (server and client side) for years before I ever got into Java, but I have to say, you'd be crazy to write AJAX apps any other way than GWT nowadays.

Bob,
Thanks for doing twubble it is really cool. I also found http://www.twitterlocal.net/ quite helpful and it would be really cool if you could combine the two result sets.
I am going to attempt doing that through excel but I do not know how to do it on the web yet.
Bob,
Are there any plans for hooking up GWT with Guice?
Nice app throws up some interesting patterns. Cheers.
Nice app -- are you gonna Open source it or no?
I have no plans to open source it, no.
Oh, okay =) Your app, your choice :)
