The simplest things are often the best. I couldn't stand the way twitter search was implemented in almost every Twitter client I tried. I wanted something that would just notify me if a search item was matched... Oh, and not use up 100% of my CPU doing it, yea that would be nice.
Yes its incredibly stupid simple, yes I am taking the easy route and using curl to pull down images, yes I don't give a damn. It works, it gets out of my way, I love it.
To run
node growl_tweet.js
Be sure to update your Twitter search query on line 5 of growl_tweet.js, oh and did you know you can use AND and OR to make it a single query that covers multiple searches, yea I didn't, but that rocks.
Obviously you need growl and growlnotify installed (brew install growlnotify).
