London Ruby User Group:Processing Tweets at the BBC
Processing Tweets at the BBC
Sean O'Halpin will be telling us about some work at the BBC involving Twitter:
"I'll be talking about how we're using Ruby to process tweets in realtime to discover inbound links to the BBC Zeitgeist and how we're reading the Twitter Firehose (about 1000 tweets/sec = about 90 million a day) and storing the data in Amazon S3. There'll be a bit about Hadoop and Map/Reduce too."

ABOUT THE LONDON RUBY USER GROUP

LRUG is the London Ruby User Group; a community of ruby developers based in and around London. We meet up at least once a month; on the 2nd Wednesday of the month we have meetings with talks, demos and such-like and then we have pub-based meetups organised on an ad-hoc basis (roughly half-way between meetings).
