Switch-a-Bit in Action

Switch a Bit

In developing a new service that uses data from Twitter, I got a chance to use Switch a Bit. The service is the anti-FriendFeed. Instead of pulling all your data together (that would be aggregate-a-bit), switch a bit routes your traffic to your preferred services via rules you set up.

In my setup, when I take a photo with ZoneTag i automatically add a tag that switch a bit picks up. Switch a bit then routes my photo to Twitter where my app picks it up. A little convoluted (ok, really convoluted) but it works! That’s the important part.
