Twitter and le Tour

If you visit Cyclelicious you might have noticed the automatic Tour de France Twitter updates in the left sidebar. I've aggregated a number of feeds from those who are sending their Tour de France live updates to Twitter and displaying them here on Cyclelicious. As of this writing, I'm grabbing Twitter output from TdFBlog's Frank Steele, Dave Bernstein aka FredCast, and Phil aka Spinopsys. Dave has also created several 2007 Tour de France podcasts which you can download from The FredCast.

If you want to automagically display the Twitter updates on your website, feel free to look at the Javascript that's in this page. It's a mess -- if there's enough interest I may give a how-to with cut-and-paste code for you to use.

Glad you like it. I've modified the Javascript a little (with Ken's help to make the URLs into real links, also.
