Trend-probe is a project mainly written in Ruby, it's free.

Probes Twitter for trending topics in GTK+/Ruby

A silly GTK+ client for watching Twitter trending topics. Hits the server every 5 minutes. Supports highlighting (cycles through yellow, then green, then clear). Also supports opening a browser to the search of the trending topic.

TODO

  • persist highlight over multiple executions
  • ignore topic (with persistence)
  • load a couple sample tweets from the topic
  • load data from whatthetrend?
  • basic analytics?
  • tests? probably not
