A mashup of Google's WebGL Globe and Twitter's Streaming API.
Created December 2012.
This tech demo requires a working copy of Node.js, a browser, and an internet connection.
To get this working locally, you'll need to set 4 environment variables from Twitter's application management portal:
EARTH_TWEETS_CONSUMER_KEY: a consumer keyEARTH_TWEETS_CONSUMER_SECRET: a consumer secretEARTH_TWEETS_ACCESS_TOKEN: an access tokenEARTH_TWEETS_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET: an access token secret
These can all be acquired by registering a new application.
Once that's done, all you need to do is run npm install and npm start. If everything went well, you should have a server running at http://localhost:3000.
