[twitter-dev] Looking for icons
I'm looking for some icons to depict the following, would be nice if they had a Twitter theme: follow you are following tweet this reply does such a set exist anywhere?
[twitter-dev] Re: non json response
I'm seeing tons of these as well. However, I've found that if you follow the suggestion of the META tag to simply refresh in 0.1 seconds if you get this bogus response, you can hide most of this from users, especially if they are on a fast network.

[twitter-dev] Comments for the group and Twitter staff
A few months ago I was introduced to the Twitter API by a prospective client who wanted a custom application. I took the time to learn the API and wrote a quick and dirty standalone windows app. The project fell through (the client could not get financing) but I have continued to be a twitter user and have subscribed to this group email. I stopped development on the project because the API does not yet seem stable enough for me to try to produce a marketable product on my own while at the same time chasing an API around. Is my opinion way off the mark or are some of the other developers out there feeling the same way. I am considering restarting development on the project if the Twitter API is likely to get more stable in the near future. Thanks for tolerating my ravings WyoKnott
[twitter-dev] 401 errors when retrieving statuses of Verified accounts.
Our application has been getting 401 errors when attempting to cache tweets from the new Verified Accounts. This includes accounts like Mashable (http://twitter.com/mashable). We are using the user_timeline.xml method, and get the 401 when using a white-listed account to avoid default rate limits. Is this no longer possible when using a whitelist account, or is there another method without this restriction?
[twitter-dev] Tweet not indexed (spam prevention?)
I have an app for drink tasting notes (http://idrankthis.com). Until now my app has parsed replies to @idrankthis but I'm in the process of modifying the app to search for posts that contain the tag #idrankthis. Today I was testing this change by tweeting with a test account (@idt2). I waited and waited for the tweet (http://bit.ly/12oISf) to appear in search results for '#idrankthis' but it never did. Then I posted a test with my personal account (@evanjacobs) and the tweet was indexed very quickly. Is this some sort of spam prevention? Specifically, is Twitter preventing the indexing of tweets from accounts that may fit the profile of spammers? At the time of this test tweet this account (@idt2) was following 1 account and had 4 followers (mostly spammers themselves). This account also doesn't have a bio or profile photo. Thanks for any help in answering this question. Regards, Evan Jacobs (@evanjacobs) http://idrankthis.com (@idrankthis)

[twitter-dev] How much time it takes to get a white listening ?
Dears, We've developed a web application based on twitter, which basiclly fetch any users mentioning our service user name to proccess it. Anyway, 90% of the project is done we have requested a white listing before 10 days with a link to the live project, with no response till now. I heard somewhere it takes 1 week maximum to get the response via the DM, but nothing till now at all ! May I know if we should resubmit the form or it will take more time then? or what should we do? The problem is that we are ready to launch the project, but just we need to do some testing using the new rate limit. Regards

Just thought I'd suggest that follow notice emails include the username that is being followed. Some of us manage multiple accounts and trying to figure out which one is being followed from the email updates is neigh-on impossible.

Hi all. This is an extremely high priority problem for us, and for me personally, to fix. If you're having this problem, please free to reach out to me, but please try to include: * the IP address your request is coming from * the request you're making * the response you got back * the time that the request/response was made/received (or, a tcpdump or curl output when doing -vvv would be sufficient also) On Sep 10, 2009, at 10:05 PM, Matthew Ranney m...@ranney.com wrote: I'm seeing tons of these as well.

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet not indexed (spam prevention?)
Hi Evan, Yes, there are some triggers in place to prevent spammy looking accounts/tweets from being indexed, but the more likely case is that you may have been testing during a peak tweet time and unfortunately the @idt2 tweet may have been dropped from indexing under heavy load. Have you tried again from that account lately? -Chad On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 4:34 PM, evanjacobsevansvenjac...@gmail.com wrote: I have an app for drink tasting notes (http://idrankthis.com).

Well ... the most obvious thing to do would be to get rid of the unexpected oauth_verifier parameter :) Seriously, if you're using it as a webapp, you shouldn't put that in there.

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet not indexed (spam prevention?)
Thanks for the reply Chad. I just tried it again and it worked great. Do you have any stats about how often tweets are dropped from indexing? It make me a bit nervous to make this change to my app if there is a chance that I won't see a significant number of messages. Also, is there any thought about revealing a spam score for a tweet or for an account. That is, if each tweet or account had a score indicating the likelihood of that tweet or account being spam then different clients could set different thresholds based on their tolerance for such things. Just an idea. Regards, Evan Jacobs (@evanjacobs) http://idrankthis.com (@idrankthis)
