Social Media Template

Description
The Social Media Template is designed to allow users to display up-to-date, keyword-targeted social media points on a map. Social media points are rendered on the client-side using clustering or displayed as a heat map. The map does perform searches in five seconds after the extent changes. Users can pan around the map and generate more tweets for different locations because the tweets stay on the map until the search term is changed or the layer is turned off.

The application does not use a streaming API, and thus it does not keep searching unless the view of the map is changed. It captures all the results in an extent which match a search query or hash tag that was set, and it only renders results which has x, y coordinates. For Twitter, the search does not return the whole twitter pipe.

The search radius is determined by the current radius and it is designed to reach to the maximum radius the API supports. Twitter supports up to 932 miles. Flickr uses up to 600 miles.
