Come to find out, through a secret source of mine, that new chat/tweet app I talked about in this earlier post, was a modified TweetGrid widget. The top part where you login and send a tweet from was the additional feature. The bottom part which displayed the tweets was the TweetGrid.  They just combined the widget and the Twitter API into one.

This feature so far is only available to a few elite super stars. Two to be exact! You know one of them is Snoop D-O-Double-G because I told you and the other VIP you ask? None other then rap super star – P Diddy.

Not sure if you know this but, yesterday when Snoop was on and there was around 1500 viewers watching, Snoop made it to the number one spot on the twitter home page for “Trending Topics” and also his name was all blown up on TweetDeck’s TwitScoop. I believe this was all made possible with what I am now calling the:

“Ustream Tweetosaurus VIP Only Chat”

If you think you would like to try and build your own U.T.V.O.C. then maybe these sites will start you in the right direction:

1. Twitter API Wiki
2. TweetGrid Widget
   
3. Sending and receiving Tweets from Twitter using the Twitter API
4. Twitter: send message from a PHP page using Twitter API

One last little note to consider before you go off building the U.T.V.O.C. is that chances are, unless you know somebody who knows somebody, you aren’t going to get your personal U.T.V.O.C. on Ustream. I would consider renaming it to “Non Ustream Tweetosaurus All Access Chat” or N.U.T.A.A.C. for short if the original name doesn’t quite fit anymore.

If you do actually succeed in building the U.T.V.O.C., rather a N.U.T.A.A.C. for you own site then please, by all means, leave a comment below with a link to your creation, I know everyone would love to see it, along with all the different variations you might come up with.
