This is the Tweegeo application. Here's what it does -

Uses the Twitter Streaming API (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api) to get location tagged tweets between NYC and SFO and saves the tweets to MongoDB. These tweets are then displayed on the client based on location input by the user.

Installing/Starting MongoDB:

$ brew update $ brew install mongodb $ sudo mkdir -p /data/db/ $ sudo chown `id -u` /data/db $ mongod & 

App Setup:

$ git clone git@github.com:kapso/tweegeo.git $ cd tweegeo $ rvm gemset create tweegeo $ gem install bundler $ bundle install $ rake db:drop && rake db:create && rake db:create_indexes && rake db:seed $ rails s 

Start the process to stream tweets (fire up a separate shell for this):

$ export TWITTER_USER=xxxxxx $ export TWITTER_PWD=xxxxxx $ rake app:fetch_tweets 

$ rake spec 

The application is Heroku enabled. See Procfile and config/mongoid.yml for details.
