Having just posted about JavaFX in spite that i think not many are actually talking about it or giving it a chance (and also to prove wrong those naysayers that say i only post on Silverlight or Adobe when it comes to RIA’s). What better way to legitimize a new way to do widgets and apps than with a Twitter Widget?.
So here enters Tweeter. It is a Twitter Widget that not only displays the host (the one who put the widget in the site) Twitter Stream but that can also be used as a in-place client so you can check out your Twitter Home Stream and post in it.
Tweeter forms part of JavaFX Samples Gallery. So you can learn how it was made and it can be downloaded and used if you are into JavaFX of course. The setback is that the performance from the widget and how it load will depend on the version of the Java runtime (how recent)Â your visitors have. Encountering it can trigger a Automatic Java update or Java Update prompt if it cannot be loaded. Reason why i did not put it live here on this page.
