[twitter-dev] how to create list of lists
The new api talks about list of lists. I do not see how to add a list to another list. Whenever I follow a list, my main account follows it, not my list. On a side note, I was playing with the API yesterday and somehow a list I created shows up twice under Lists you follow. I guess a bug somewhere.
[twitter-dev] flagged as dupe post when string is unique (ideas?)
Hello Folks, (fishing for input) thx Not really sure what’s going on here. Below you will find what I am sending and what is coming back from the Twitter API. You can see that what is being sent doesn’t even come close to what is up there now. Am I missing something here? What am I doing wrong? Why is this completely different sting not posting?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter API Returning Nothing
Hi Jesse,
Not sure if this is it, but looking at your code you're making a POST
request to Twitter but sending the status parameter as a GET request
parameter as part of the URL instead of a POST parameter. Send the
data via POST too, see if that helps.

Thanks for that. It would be great to combine them and reflect ownership in the response data set.

This is probably confusion arising from something I wrote in a previous email.

[twitter-dev] Re: Subscribed Lists
I have to second Rich on this - ID-only is flawed, as twitter supports hotlinking lists by name (@username/slug) in tweets, and links that to the list page. If clients want to offer the same behavior, this is not possible if the API only supports IDs (or would require a potentially large number of additional requests to get the user's lists and page through them to find the one mentioned).

[twitter-dev] PHP Libraries for OAuth
Hi, I've been messing around with the API for a while now and I've been wondering whether there's any particular consensus over the best library to use with PHP? Up to now I've been using Abraham Williams' TwitterOAuth library, however since on github it seems there's been no updates for many months I thought I'd better check whether that's because there's no major bugs or because there's better libraries available? Best wishes, Michael Mokrysz

+1 I too started with Abraham's, but as you pointed out, that project is more or less stagnant and Abraham is working on other things. Totally understandable. Jmathai's library is technically very sound, extremely well thought out and continuously being improved. Moreover, jmathai is very helpful and responds to questions/requests etc within hours.

[twitter-dev] Re: PHP Libraries for OAuth
Thanks to both of you, having taken a better look at epitwitter's code I'd have to agree that's it's best to switch. I still like to be able to pretty much copy and paste urls from the documentation rather than having think how to convert it into the (albeit ingenious) conversion method EpiTwitter uses so I think I'll probably rewrite the __call function a little but keep the rest of the code.
[twitter-dev] Re: PHP Libraries for OAuth
Completely agreed with Michael there. I'm not for a minute suggesting Abraham's library is any less in value, I just come to appreciate the nature in which jmathai went about creating the library and it just seemed to be more 'natural' to work with. Not to mention as Michael said - you have a question and you get a response quickly. Scott.

[twitter-dev] Turning a list's status timeline into an JS/Ajax widget
Does calling the status timeline ( '/:users/lists/:list_slug/ statuses.:format') for a list count against rate limit? What I'm thinking of is doing an Ajax widget that auto updates with new tweets from a list every few seconds, such as the Search widget Twitter provides: http://twitter.com/goodies/widget_search If the status API request is rate limited this would obviously not work as you'd run out of requests within a few moments. Is there any other better way to turn a list's statuses into a widget? Lee

[twitter-dev] Re: Subscribed Lists
Using ID only for me is fine, except in the case we mention.
