Growl-tweet is a project mainly written in Ruby, it's free.
A very simple script that I use for growling tweets with my name in them.
This is a really simple script that makes use of the twitter and growl gems to connect to twitter, do a search for mentions of the username in state.yml, and create a growl notification for each one. state.yml also contains the last twitter id that it found that matched the search so that it doesn't show duplicates.
gem install bundler
. bundle install
.state.sample.yml
to state.yml
and change the name
value inside it.bundle exec ruby twitter.rb
