tweeql is a Python app for querying the Twitter API just like SQL

With handy functions for determining location and even sentiment. Looks quite well done.

UPDATE: My pal and self-declared Yahoo fanboy Ryan “I’ve got your Jerry Yang right here” Bateman points out that YQL does something similar across a whole bunch of web services, like Flickr, Facebook, Yelp, etc. Thanks, Ryan, and good luck with that purple exclamation point tattoo!
