I thought I'd go ahead and "release" the twitter aggregator code I'm using for the Charleston Bloggers Retweeter. You can think of it like a mailing list (but with tweets instead of emails). Only one person has to keep track of the membership (rather than each of the members having to subscribe to each of the other members individually). Once you create a Twitter account, just start following people. Put your username and password in the script, and then run it (as a daemon). User management is all done through twitter (by following, no longer following other users). Enjoy.

The python source can be found at http://butterfat.net/releases/twitter_aggregator.py.

This is the first post on the blog that will serve as a place for announcements affecting the Lowcountry Blog Roll (and associated projects, all brought to you as community projects of Butterfat, LLC). I'm pleased to announce a new Twitter aggregator that will "retweet" the twitterings of LBR members in a single location (think of it as a planet for twitter). More information can be found here. More to come soon....
