What kind of script is this?

[heyimandy]

So there's this design that's used on a lot of the interscope records artists pages that pulls latest streams from twitter and sometimes facebook into a type of microblog.

I've spent sometime trying to find some scripts out there. Perhaps I'm not looking up the right name for this.

You can take a look at what I mean on the man pages of these sites... They have the same system running, which I'm sure was obviously custom.

http://www.lmfaomusic.com/ (this one has a twitter, facebook and youtube stream)

Anyone know where I can get something like this?

I believe these streams are just API's that are provided by Twitter, Facebook etc.

For example, there is the Javscript API for Facebook.

You'll need the token app ID to login from your website, so Facebook will know what stream to fetch. They styling is then left up to you.

With Twitter, you can use the embedded tweets:

Hope that helps??
