Edit: The Tweet Server no longer works because Twitter has revamped a lot of their API, as well as added a layer of authentication to all of the calls. I don’t plan on updating the source code at this time, but it is still available for download below.

The Tweet Server finds current trends from twitter, and returns relevant article descriptions from various online sources based on twitter’s trends. I wrote the Tweet Server for an assignment in one of my programming courses at school. It was written entirely in Java, and utilizes multi-threading to reduce the response time from the various server calls that are made before returning the article descriptions to the user. The source code, and a brief paper outlining the design for the project are available for download below.
