I decided to have a go at writing a script to integrate twitter with PBWiki.  The main reason for this is because the Tuttle Club uses PBWiki to organise their events and attendees add their name to the list on the wiki if they are attending.

After seeing Lloyd Davis’s blog post on the idea, I thought I should whip something together as I already have scripts that can monitor key words.  So this was just adding PBWiki integration.

This script means you can add your name to the list of attendees on PBWiki just by typing “#tuttlebot going” anywhere within a tweet.  The script simply scans the twitter search api for the #tuttlebot hashtag and if the tweet mentions “going”, the twitter name and tweet is added to the PBWiki page.

You can see this in action on a test page that I have created on PWBWiki.  Looking forward to hearing feedback on this and making modifications and adding more commands.
