Meta-search Project
Hello, I have a small project where we need to use some open APIs to make a meta-search engine.
We need to use the APIs of the following services
a. twitter.com
b. digg.com
c. Delicious
We should take a variety of factors, including number of people on a specific URL in a particular time period, freshness of the content, and typical content weighting algorithms. Some people tweet a huge number of URLs, mostly via URL shorteners Twitter search addresses keywords in the tweet, but it doesn’t do anything with the URL’s, especially the shortened ones. So,we should grabs tweets from Twitter’s API that include a URL, tosses the shortened URL into a search corpus (which expands the URL and indexes the full page text), and then references it back to the original tweet. It should also correlates all tweets with the same URL (including re-tweets) across any URL shortened service.
You can take a look at http://www.s*c*o*o*p*l*e*r.com/ and http://www.o*n*e*r*i*o*t.com/ as examples.
