Technologies Used

• SpookyJS - a Node.JS V8 bridge for CasperJS/PhantomJS. CasperJS is an abstraction over the lower-level PhantomJS, which utilizes the Webkit engine (and thereby, a non-NodeJS compatible environment). SpookyJS allows us to work with PhantomJS on the V8 engine, thereby allowing us to get the programmable internet browsing capabilities of PhantomJS/CasperJS on NodeJS.
• Twitter Streaming API - Allows us to listen to a Twitter account's tweets in real-time.
• Twitter NodeJS library - NodeJS Twitter client library
