I am setting up a system just like this, or attempting to, and am currently trying to piece together a way using either WordPress and widgets, or Joomla and modules, and then delivering sorted search results to boxes, rather complicated. I’d be extremely interested in your source code for this and willing to give you a featured twitter feed on our website as thanks for the help.

We are currently working on “Music Tweet Off’s” where two bands have their fans, or our fans check out the bands, and vote using a hashtag and the bands twitter name, and to score an extra vote and be entered into a random prize drawing they can goto our website and vote via a on site voting poll.

If we used MySql and PHP we could integrate the website and twitter votes as well as votes on Facebook if we went that direction and made voting available on the fan page.

Hi There,
