A radio for Twitter feeds

8 March 2009 By Aaron Tan One Comment

A student from the Queen’s University Belfast in the UK has come up with a radio that “tunes in” to Twitter feeds and broadcasts them in audio in real time. A microcontroller and custom software (presumably text-to-speech) was used in what could possibly be one of the most creative hacks of the good old radio!

Check out the video of the TwitterRadio here.

    Oh yay… more inane twitters, now available for airing on the radio!

    – “It’s cleaning day today for both me and the house. I will so slippery later I will have to tape myself to the chair.”

    – “Just passed a maths test today. LMAO.”

    /doh!
