A simple Twitter feed consumer that calculates the velocity of a hash tag. Using Node.JS and Twitter module

NowPlayingVelocity.js

var util = require('util'),
    twitter = require('twitter'),
    sys = require('sys');

var twit = new twitter({
    consumer_key: '',
    consumer_secret: '',
    access_token_key: '',
    access_token_secret: ''
});



var aceleration = 0.0;

x = twit.stream('statuses/filter', {track:'#nowplaying'}, function(stream) {
    stream.on('data', function (data) {
        //sys.puts(sys.inspect(data));
	aceleration = aceleration + 1.0;
	console.log("Current acceleration: "+aceleration);
    });
    
    stream.on('error', function (error) {
    	sys.puts('Connection error '+sys.inspect(error));
    });
        
    stream.on('end', function (response) {
        sys.puts('Connection ended');
    });
    // Disconnect stream after five seconds
    //setTimeout(stream.destroy, 5000);
});

setInterval(function(){
	aceleration = aceleration - 0.1;
} , 50);

console.log(sys.inspect(x));
