My 2 evening project - Twitter Playback

This weekend a well-known comedian was live-tweeting sardonic commentary for a new Lifetime movie. It got me thinking that it would be cool to be able to replay his tweets later so that someone who missed the live show would be able to sync them up with the movie. That, along with the fact that I've had lots of fun on Twitter during big events (like the elections), made me think that it'd be a fun hack to put together a Twitter playback site. So last night and tonight I threw together http://www.twitterplayback.com. Check it out an let me know what you think!

In plain words

Twitter Playback lets users replay tweets from live events in chronological order, synced to the moment they were posted. Created for people who missed real-time commentary during movies, elections, or other events, the tool enables viewers to experience the social media conversation alongside recorded content. Users can search for and replay tweet streams from past events, recreating the original live experience after the fact.
