Recent developments in the tech community include the open-sourcing of Project Canary, a Cocoa app known for its Twitter functionalities such as filtering tweets, TwitPic integration, and user management, encouraging users to customize it further. New projects also gaining attention include github-cli, a Python script for posting to GitHub issues via the new API, which could rival the existing GitHub RubyGem, and urlshrink, a tool for URL shortening on OSX that could be integrated into other applications. Additionally, gibberish combines Scheme and Jabber/XMPP for enthusiasts, although it remains a work in progress, and space-clock, a clock written in Clojure, showcases the language's integration with the JVM. Finally, jtwitter offers an easy way to fetch Twitter updates with minimal code using a jQuery plugin, making it an efficient choice for integrating Twitter streams into blogs.
