After last Monday the sessions where public I was wondering how can I see who is attending after a talk with Jeremy Thake
From http://sharepointdevwiki.com/ . He made 2 nice blog post about how to show what session you are attending.
You can view both blog posts : SPC09 session codes for Twitter and SPC09 Session codes and titles.
Still I had a feeling that not everybody was going to see what was going to be tweeted per session.
After a night with almost no sleep and turning and turning I figured it out I copied the sessions in to a list and made a webpart which would query twitter.
This was a fast decision since I had not done anything with the twitter api I started to look on the net.
I found this page Twitter Search WebPart from matt jimison which had the source code on it.
I Copied a lot of it but had to customize it a little.
The end result is you have a combo box where you can select your session. After selecting the session the tweets with that hastag are going to be loaded.
The end result looks like this:
You can this is the page sharepoint conference twitter page. Nice would be auto refresh with ajax.
Maybe I going to put that in later on.
Since there is also a big event in Holland called the SDC i added a tag #sdc2009 for the people who want to see what is going on there. It is 19 and 20 october
UPDATE: the webpart is at this moment only a IE webpart it is possible that you get a error in other browsers Sorry for that.
