Twidiko - posting videos on Twitter

Short video messages

Another use for your microphone and camera. Our service allows you to publish short audio and video messages on Twitter. Everything happens right in the browser and additional plugins are not needed. This is what it looks like in the browser. Another point: to publish messages you need to give Twidiko access to your twitter. We use OAuth, that is, you do not even need to enter a username and password. In general, that's all, you just have to touch: You can click on the logo or type twidiko.com in the address bar

Technology

Video recording comes from the Flash object, the video stream is sent to the media server. Choosing a server for the project, we considered the following options:

• Red5 - free, but not as stable as we wanted;
• Adobe Flash Media Server - stable, but expensive (from $ 1000 per server);
• Wowza - does not require large investments (from $ 65 per server per month) and scales “out of the box” on Amazon EC2.

When starting a new server, we indicate the address of the balancing server, where the server will report information about its load. The client flash application first learns from the load balancer the address of the less loaded server and opens a connection to it.
