Hi All,
I figured out something to do with my xmpp pub/sub feed: look for
movie reviews!

http://jazzychad.com/twitter/movies.php

My xmpp bot searches for movie titles, and then a human (me, but
looking for others to help moderate) categorizes the tweets into
"good", "bad", "indifferent", and "noise" on an administrative page.

Any feedback on look, feel, or functionality is welcome!

-Chad

P.S. If you want to help moderate reviews, let me know... as the
blockbusters continue to be released this summer, I'm sure there will
be a flood of tweets to categorize.

Wow, thanks :)  I'd love feedback on how to improve the interface/
usability.  I am considering adding a second bot to get reviews from
users (scale of 1 to 5 or something like that by direct message) that
will also capture a quantitative review of the movies... thoughts on
that?

JazzyChad,

Cool idea.

One idea I had was to have people include a fraction movie rating in
their tweet.   1/5, 5/10, 97/100... their choice.  and then just parse
on <number1>/<number2> and average everyone's numbers.

Or go less flexible, and just tell people it's a 5-point scale.

Best,
-damon

Chad,

I'd be up for helping with moderation.  Just DM or email me.
Great app idea!
