Gas Tracker
Posted by rschingler in entrepreneurs, tinyapps on May 12th, 2008
A lovely Mother’s Day weekend was spent in Victoria, BC to put some meat on the bones for the TinyApps team. In fact, TinyApps first start with a TinyHack, typically developed during #phptuesdays, however this weekend @joshuamckeny, @toddicus, @jessykate and @medido went straight to a TinyApp called Gas Tracker.
Gas Tracker is a Twitter hack which allows a follower to tweet basic gas usage information to gain a greater insight into ones driving habits.
For example, let’s assume that I am at the gas station to fill up my tank. It cost $47.43 for 14.23 gallons to fill your tank and my odo odometer reading is 74,345 miles. After I am following @gastracker I send it a direct message:
d gastracker $47.43 14.23g 74345
Over time, simple twitters to update your activity while at the pump will allow you to log in and visualize your driving behavior showing such graphs as rate of mileage accumulation and miles per gallon. We have some visions on how this will evolve with increased functionality, but in the spirit of TinyApps, we have to ship it to get some feedback.
Once you follow Gas Tracker on Twitter, you will receive a direct message welcoming you Gas Tracker and giving you instructions to go to the Gas Tracker Website. At the website, you will enter your Twitter name and Gas Tracker will direct tweet you a password. With this password, you’ll then be able log in and view your driving behavior. Do be patient, as the more data you input, the more meaningful the analysis will be.
Enjoy, and please do give us some feedback.
Get a Tweet with the latest DVD releases using MovieScout

(Guest Post by Todd Khozein:)
I am proud to say that I have written my first, yes my first, web app ever in the form of a tool to proliferate the growing and widespread impulsive want-it-NOW shopper’s need to be the first to know in the form of a Twitter Bot that will, indeed, tell you what the latest DVD releases are with a link to buy it NOW! Thanks to Joshua for holding my tender little virgin hacker’s hand through the intricacies of building something that actually works in a world where run-on sentences are acceptable, nay encouraged.
I think I have officially taken a significant step towards geekdom and feel that I should commemorate this occasion of the alpha release by inviting you, the reader, to make this app wildly successful and dedicating the remainder of your waking hours tonight and possibly tomorrow in telling all of your people how sexy this app really is.
