Auditing Tweets on IBM i Using Materials That are Lying Around Your Shop

One of the challenges facing financial companies is that they are now being audited for text messages sent to social media sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. This can be a daunting challenge in gathering information from several different twitter streams.

To solve this, Aaron Bartell of Krengeltech came up with an IBM i utility to use RPG to perform twitter searches and dump the results into a DB2 table. He does it by using RPG, the open source Twitter4j project, and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

Pretty cool stuff and definitely filling a need in the financial community.
