As you know we already had a streamer to use with the Twitter API for streaming tweets. With that streamer we were only able to filter using key words; however, tweets from all sources arrived. Now, added a second streamer, where we are now able to filter from whom we want our tweets. This list of users is provided via a .txt file, and we can also use a list of keywords for a more thorough filtering.

What did we do with the first streamer?

It is now fully working, adding filtered tweets to the database, and printing who tweeted the matching results.

The project’s development is going great.

Stay tuned for next weeks developments.
