is a prototype developed by our colleagues in Â鶹Éç Research and Development.
It's aim:
...to highlight the most shared Â鶹Éç webpages on Twitter, a digest to link people to the hottest Â鶹Éç pages
On the R&D blog Theo Jones explains more:
We use the Twitter streaming API to access the Gardenhose sample stream, which provides a subset of the full Twitter message stream, at a rate of about 100 messages per second and to track "Â鶹Éç" as a keyword. These messages are then fed into a pipeline of processes written in connected by queues provided by , a fast and reliable messaging server.
