Should I Retweet (ShouldIRT) is a website that helps twitter users gauge whether or not they should retweet a tweet from another twitter user.

If a lot of people following one person also follow you, your followers probably don't stand much to gain by you retweeting the original tweet.

In order to reduce load on the Twitter API, we took great care to make sure to cache as many data as possible. We also leveraged the Google Charts API for all dynamic charts/images, vastly reducing the load on our servers.

Technologies Used:

  • We used Ruby on Rails to develop the application.
  • ShouldIRT integrates with Twitter
  • The charts are generated via the Google Charts API.
