The Great Look Up Gallery
The Great Look Up Gallery is a next version of my gallery for twitter events; The Great Look Up in this case. I created the first version specifically for the highly successful meteorwatch. The gallery uses the official hash tag to search the public twitter feed for photos and images sent by users from around the world. The first version has support only for the TwitPic.com server. Since then, I've added support for four other popular services, namely:
To have your photo included on this site, all you have to do is to update your twitter status with a message that includes (one or more) images uploaded to either of the 5 services mentioned above and add the hash tag #thegreatlookup, e.g.:
My #thegreatlookup photos http://twitpic.com/f6uy3 http://twitpic.com/f6uy3 http://twitpic.com/f6crc
Gallery Live!
When you first come to the gallery live! page, it will display the newest items along with a few latest archive photos. You can click on a particular photo to bring up the gallery view, which will let you navigate through all full-size photos. Clicking on the link underneath a photo will take you to the photo site or Twitpic, yFrog, Img.ly, TwitGoo or Flickr. The gallery live! page updates its content every 60 seconds, so there is no need to refresh the page. Please note that in case your browser doesn't support javascript or javascript has been disabled, only archive items will be displayed and the page will NOT refresh periodically).
Archive
The archive page displays ALL status updates containing images (restricted to the services mentioned above) posted to the twitter feed under the #thegreatlookup hash tag. Items are orginazed so that the latest images appear on top. If the size of this page becomes a problem due to ever-growing participation, I may have to limit the number of items displayed (although all items will remain archived).
