Technologies used: Twitter API's (Search & REST); Box2DJS (ported to jQuery) for the physics; PHP, Simple PHP Proxy, Memcached, YAML loader and Twitter-Async for the backend; Raphäel JS for the gauge SVG animation; jQuery for easier javascript coding; ColorBox, history, Preload CSS Images and timeago plugins; Topsy for the RT functions; Yanone Kaffeesatz loaded through Google Font API for the interface type and The Lobster Font for the logo.
p = play/pause the machine; g = invert gravity; s = jump to search field; a = open the "About the Machine" window; esc = deselect search field / close the "About the Machine" window
