Flipstatus is a project from BAS Design Labs. The idea is to use a simulated split-flap display to keep track of feeds from around the web. At the moment, it's just Twitter, but soon we'll be adding Facebook, foursquare and Yelp, as well as the ability to pick up RSS feeds, email and SMS messages.

This is an open-source project, released under the MIT License. If you'd like to help make it better, feel free to check out the source code at

Other examples of what can be done can be found in our split-flap project at

And you can see working examples of those at http://dev.basdesign.com/split-flap/.

If you've got questions or feedback, or you end up building something cool with this we'd love to hear from you. Contact us at pbutler at basdesign dot com.
