Boxcar is very awesome. It pushes notifications about Twitter mentions and retweets, and using its simple API, I can have my server push messages to me (it can also push messages about other things, like emails that arrive). That’s even better than a twitter bot, because I don’t have to even have twitter open to get the message.
Being able to tap into the stream on other devices is a great idea, and will make it even more useful.
Affectionately nicknamed the ‘farm’, we’re pleased to introduce real time access to your own Boxcar notifications.
View the documentation here. We’ve created a sample Ruby implementation over on Github.
This is a technology preview for developers.
