Another Twitter ( http://twitter.com ) API script announced today, Did Yuh’ Know? ( http://didyuh.com ). Did Yuh’ will allow Twitter users to prefix their messages with DYK: or YUH: to note that their message contains short fact, clipping, or idea. Messages with the prefixes will be displayed on the Did Yuh’ site. This service is similar to Sidebar Creative’s http://overheard.it/ and Matt & Mark Armendariz’s (they’re friends but not actually related) http://yayandnay.com

A project I’ve been working on with Fangohr slowly for the past few months is getting close to being finished. Featuring the visual and identity design efforts of Florian Fangohr and the incredibly detailed map and landmarks illustration work of Carlos Ancalmo. We’ve been quietly building what we hope will be hottest (or at least pretty cool) and most honest restaurant review website in New York.

With no revenue model to speak of, Food Tyrant is the result of our clients passionate interest in finding and enjoying the best restaurant experiences in New York.

We’ve built this webapp on CakePHP with traditional clicks and then extended it with the hijax unobtrusive approach for adding client-side behavior. The Google Maps API has been massaged into a map interface that we feel effectively communicates Food Tyrant’s identity.

Some of the screenshots here have been taken from a recent development build and may not reflect the final and most recent look & feel. If you’re interested in being notified when the site is live, stay tuned here. We plan on having a splash page up shortly.

Though all googleAPIKeys work when you run your code at http://localhost or http://localhost/any/sub/directory/, I ran into a bit of a problem with my development server's key once I tried running the site we're developing at http://projectname.localhost/.

It turns out, that Google wanted me to register for an API key for my localhost subdomain.

Now by adding this else if everything is working swimmingly.

I updated my post about pulling Collections info from a Flickr account. I started to originally post about it a month ago, but had completely forgot as the idea got abandoned from one of my projects.
