Cool, I’ll start trying it in a moment. This afternoon in the train I made a second version of the animation. I’m uploading it right now.

Wow, cool Erik.

So far the mood on Twitter is pro Obama.

Let’s see if I can read your numbers…

I made a little script, doing the scraping and database stuff for you ;) Have a look at http://wordpress.justlol.net/?p=638, you might want to embed it in your flv.

That would be interesting as well. Only I am not that good with databases. I can only build flashy stuff on XML feeds by others :) But it would be nice to store this information.

great idea :) Why not make live bar charts and / or time graphs from the same data? You’ll have an up to date twitter poll!

Ik zet vanavond wel even een oudere file neer, zie dat er ook wat mis gaat als de plaatjes groot zijn.

By the way this flash gimmick is just a mock up to shows that there is interesting data in those public databases as long as you ask the right questions and use the right presentation.

I’m not a very good programmer, so excuses for the code. But hey, it works :)

The Flash file was made using a trial version of CS4, I’ll see tonight if I can save it as an older version.

Het is een cs4 file, zou dat een probleem kunnen zijn?
