Hello All,

I just wanted to share my Tweet Sleeve project I completed about a week ago. It's an LED pattern on the sleeve of a sweatshirt that changes color according to the mood of the user's Twitter updates. It's been getting a lot of blog attention which is pretty awesome. I used a Lilypad Arduino and Lilypad Tri-color LED's. I think it turned out pretty sweet!

Here are some pics of it, and a video of it on flickr:

I would love any feedback! :slight_smile:

Very cool! Would you mind providing some more technical information like how you're getting the tweets to the lilypad and how you determine if a tweet is happy or angry?
