HousingKlout

Synopsis:

 A fun little JavaScript hack that mashes up:

   1. 3Taps - Craigslist home/apt listings in SF
   2. Google Maps - Find lat/lon based on unformatted address string
   3. Twitter - Geo-tagged tweets near within radius of each listing
   4. Klout - Average Klout score of each tweeter from tweets above
   5. deCarta - Plot tweets and pin home listings with Klout scores
      and hyperlinked back to Craigslist listings.

 What you end up with is a map with a bunch of real estate listings
 along with a Klout score. Silly? Yes. But mashing up completely
 disparate data that only has lat/lon in common makes it interesting.

Requirements:

   1. 3Taps API key - http://register.3taps.com/member/register
   2. Klout API key - http://developer.klout.com

      The two above you'll paste into the HTML form.

   3. Google Maps API key - http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

      The Google Maps API key/script-src you'll paste into index.htm
      source - around line 54)

   This has been tested on the most recent versions of Firefox, 
   Safari and Chrome (MSIE not tested) and it seems to work fine.

Bundled:

   1. parseaddress jQuery plugin - quick and dirty unformatted
      address string resolver/parser that uses Google Maps API

   2. deCarta.js and CONFIG.js - deCarta mapping JS files
      borrowed from their sample documentation
      src: http://developer.decarta.com

   3. 3taps JS - 3Taps JavaScript SDK
      src: http://3taps.com

Caveats:

   This was a hackathon project built from soup to nuts in just
   a few hours. It's being made available so that people can see
   five APIs converge into one project in a few chunks of 
   JavaScript code.

   Please feel free fix/report bugs as you find them, or refactor
   the slop. :)
