I don't think it is 'random'. It most likely is removal of robot accounts. Some script / human is identifying such spam accounts / fake accounts and suspending them. Many people are getting frustrated by this, to see their followers number reduce. ~*~ On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 11:22 AM, M.

That's not the symptom people are describing to me. It goes something like this: Bob follows Carol. At a later date, Carol says, Bob, when did you unfollow me? Did I piss you off or something? Bob says, But I didn't unfollow you. He then checks and sees that he is in fact no longer

I have noticed this as well. But I thought I was that uninteresting since I do not tweet regularly enough for some to justify their following me. Thanks for bringing this to light. On Aug 14, 8:57 am, Damon Clinkscales sca...@pobox.com wrote: FWIW, I've heard several people say that the 'who

Can someone answer these? 1. *urls:* Are they expanded? 2. *hashtag:* Is #thisahashtag? I think so. 3. *user_mentions: * - Is @replyto a mention? So would @replyto @abc imply two mentions or just @abc? - What about this Tweet: RT @abc blah blah @abc_mention blah

Hi, I've seen several things: 1. I *think* that your URL encode function is slightly wrong - this is what my PHP OAuth site has : return str_replace( '+', ' ', str_replace('%7E', '~', rawurlencode($input)) ); 2. You seem to be lucky that the sort order is right, but your

You're failing to see the point. In the past, with basic auth, there was no need to create any sort of account from the third party app side. No need for a database, local accounts, nothing. A user could login as this wish, without issue, regardless as to whether or not they need to access the
