Last week, cloud hosting service PHP Fog announced that they were offering a free hosting tier for PHP apps, including native support for ThinkUp.
I made a short screencast showing how easy it is to get up-and-running on PHP Fog. From signup to activating my ThinkUp account, it took about three minutes from start to finish. It skips most of the installation process, making this the quickest and easiest way for non-geeks to get started with ThinkUp.
Let us know if you try it out!
FYI, You can use easycron.com to setup an hourly hit against the Secret RSS feed URL to ensure the data is continuously collected.
cron isn't an option since your are in a shared PHP instance.

Not as easy as suggested
What for example do you put in the following fields?
Fill in the following settings.
Name:
Description: My ThinkUp installation
Website:
Callback URL: plugins/twitter/auth.php

Curious... Cascadia, did you get your question answered?
We're considering ThinkUp.
We run on a Citrix virtual desktop. Does anyone know if that is an issue?

This is awesome. Thanks for the video.
Question, though:
I'm about to hit the 3200 tweet barrier and want to archive my tweets before they begin to be locked up in Twitter's inaccessible Secret Disney Vault. I notice with the free account you get 100 MB of space.
How big of a ThinkUp database does that equate to? 100 MB worth of 140 character messages should be, effectively, infinite tweets for personal use. But I don't know how to estimate how much of analysis data Think Up can store with 100 MB.
Thoughts?
