I built a tiny device for displaying Twitter updates on my table-top.

A scrolling text display that shows me the latest tweets from the @verge account.

Completely wireless via WiFi and uses a Heroku backend to get the tweets from the Twitter API. Built on the Arduino platform.

I have open-sourced all the code for the Arduino as well as the Node.js application.

Cool idea! Is it possible to scale this with a bigger matrix display?

Yup! Of course! Used a smaller one for reduced complexity right now.
