Tweet Product Search
Tweet Product Search
Overview
The Tweet Product Search Magento extension makes use of the Twitter search API using OAuth and Tiwtter API v1.1 for collecting tweets about your products using any search terms that Twitter's search accepts. This extension creates a relation between the Twitter search API and Magento products to display tweets on the products you want, from the searches queries you provide for them. Each product will stay updated with fresh tweets and a unique search term at a update frequency you can configure. Depending on server resources, and twitter rate limits, you can potentially keep thousands of products updated with fresh tweets, and unique search terms every day. Once you have created the relation between a twitter search term, and a product you want to display those tweets on, you can further customize how and what tweets are displayed to the customer on your website, and on which products/pages their displayed on.
As a result of using the Twitter search API to get tweets, there are many different things this extension can do to customize the search query of tweets you want to fit the niche your looking for in your products and other pages. In addition to the power of the search API for basic search queries about you products, you can also create searches for hash tags, and users by simply making the search query #magento or @magento instead of a typical search query. The ramifications of this is that, you have even more possibilities for what you do with this extension, you could create a search on a product, that follows a single user or a search that follows a single hash tag. For more information, see the Twitter's search operators, below the search bar for all the ways you can customize your search query to fit your products.
