Popular Twitter Links
By Karthik Viswanathan
Many of you may have noticed our Popular Twitter Links section on our homepage. It is a new feature we’ve recently added.
Through python and perl, it:
- Queries Twitter for tweets about web design
- Processes each tweet and counts up the retweets
- Outputs the most popular retweeted posts in HTML format
- Repeats the whole process every 1 hour
Hopefully, everyone will stay up to date on the latest web design news! If you have some free time on your hands, please take a look at this section and post a comment with feedback. Thank you!

Very nice feature, it’ll be good to add the possibility to retweet the link directly from your page ^_^
@Lolindir: That’s a nice idea. I’ll see what I can do!
