Sent a tweet to a jukeboxMy tweet. Note the off-by-one error in the logic that handles search phrase highlighting; when the search phrase appears at the end of the tweet, the last letter isn't highlighted. Actual text message from gullible saloon patron who apparently learned to spell profanity from Quentin Tarantino. (Actually, I wonder if the misspelling is intentional to avoid a profanity filter? This could be a ripe area for future experimentation.) Presumably an actual text message from a gullible saloon patron Fake text message taken from Twitter and apparently originally sourced from Craigslist Originated on Foursquare, blasted to Twitter, and then straight to this jukebox. This bastard took my mayorship SMS to Twitter to jukebox, cost to me: $0. (Except the social cost of having my avatar photo posted in this bar for eternity.)   -- Sent from my Palm Pre

Finding location...

This is one of those fancy new internet-enabled jukeboxes. It entices gullible saloon patrons to text a message to 87884 for which it will undoubtedly charge the sender a million dollars in exchange for displaying the message on its screen. But it's only displaying a few actual text messages; the majority of the messages it displays are actually being taken from Twitter. The jukebox knows its location (in this case, San Francisco's Glen Park neighborhood), so it only displays tweets that contain the phrase "glen park".
We wondered how long it would take for the system to discover a new tweet containing the phrase "glen park," so we sent a few. The jukebox displayed the first one within 8-10 minutes. I think it may be time to advertise free drink specials on this thing.
