-==== Implemented Features ==== 
  
-List of the features implemented so far+Implementations missing:
  
-  * Search for Tweets +Tweets in Coverflow style - We were not able to get the coverflow demo from the vaadin.com website to run on our test computers. This is a reason why we changed the layout to the current one 
-  * See a real-time flow of the Tweets + 
-  * Possibility to control speed of stream and pause when wanted +Filter the search only to certain language - Implementation of this feature was not as important as the others we implemented 
-  * Search-tag cloud of the most popular searches + own last searches + 
-  * Preview window for posted Tweet links +Email tweets - There was no need to email tweets afterall. 
-  * Change the position of the Preview window + 
-  * Shortcut keys for faster controlling+Mouse Gesturing - This was replaced by shortcut keys and they are actually easier and faster to use
