Verizon has a giant HD screen in Times Square today showing a live
feed of social media activity – and it's built entirely in Python.

Our app, FeedMagnet, aggregates and curates social content and is
powering the screen. It has a Django front-end and pure Python backend
to talk to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Foursquare, and
other sources.

So if you happen to be in Times Square for the crazy party today, tell
the people around you that big social media screen is powered by
Python!

- Jason (founder of FeedMagnet)
