Ospriet is a audience moderation app built on Twitter that allows for audiences to post and vote on questions/comments for talks, presentations, and events. The application is written in node.js, uses MongoDB for database storage, and is designed for deployment on nodejitsu.
Ospriet allows anyone with a Twitter account to submit a question or comment, by posting an @-reply to a Twitter account dedicated for an audience-oriented event. The submission will be reposted to the event’s account, with attribution. Audience members can vote up the best submissions by favoriting the submissions on the event account.
Ospriet will then keep track of all of the favorites and provide the top submissions. Ospriet provides one single, simple interface for all of this that audience members can use on most devices.
