Cool idea! I'll be sure to bookmark it...

Here's my $0.02:

- Typo in the about page : "As weel..."

- I'd change the 1st 2 paragraphs in the about section to "Jobs Tractor looks for people trying to hire developers on Twitter, but filters out tweets that are from recruitment agencies or jobs boards."

- Love the map view

- Does the search field allow you to filter by location, keyword, or both?

- Group by location maybe?

- I'd take the word "jobs" out of the logo - to me it looks cluttered

- Do you save the posts or is it just what the Twitter search API pulls up? Jobs might not get tweeted about more than once, so a posting could still be legitimate after a week or so



DOH! proof reading fail. Thanks.

re the search field. It's just to change locaiton at the moment.

re saving the posts, I'm saving them but only for 6 days at the moment to keep the data pretty fresh.

Thanks for the feedback.


Do you save the posts or is it just what the Twitter search API pulls up?

I think he stores them; the About page mentions the site uses MongoDB.
