Re: [twitter-dev] What do the attributes represent in a geo place lookup for a city
Great questions. I'll be publishing a document to dev.twitter.com about this
in the next couple of days but to answer you question the attributes you
refer to are specific to a registered OAuth application. I'll explain more
about these attributes and where they come from in the dev.twitter document.
I'll let you know when the document is published.

For example:
Place lookup for Portland, OR:
http://api.twitter.com/1/geo/id/ac88a4f17a51c7fc.json
Returns as part of the result:
attributes:{162772:pop100:529121,162772:place_id:4159000}
What does the 162772 signify? I believe the 162772:pop100
represents population from 2000 census (I'm saying 2000 based on spot
checking a couple of cities). But, will this 162772 change?
What does the place_id represent? It's not a woeid, and it's
different than the twitter place_id (or is it? maybe the place_id in
the URL is a hash of this?)
Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Re: Which one are you using in your mobile app? xAuth or oAuth?
Hi Guys This might be of interest: http://getsharekit.com It's a drop-in module for iPhone apps to enable sharing. I've based my own Twitter sharing off of this (using xAuth as the other OAuth flows stink IMHO) however ShareKit allows both OAuth and xAuth should you wish so might provide some ideas / examples.

[twitter-dev] CMS application on each domain
Hi, My company has developed its own CMS which we use to develop websites for customers. I'm working on a Twitter plugin to allow people to send news to Twitter from within the CMS. For the moment, I'm stuck with the authentication part. First question: When I register an application, I must choose a callback URL. In my case it doesn't make much sense, since the application will run on each customer's domain (being part of the CMS). Should I re-register the application for each implementation, or should I use a single key and add domains ? Second question: I'm working locally on the application. I read it's not possible to add localhost as a domain. I added a domain (www.test.com) to my hosts file, and created a virtual host in my local Apache httpd.conf. This seems to work fine. I've set the callback URL to http://company.com in the application settings, but I'm using the oath_callback parameter to make twitter redirect to www.test.com/file.php. This isn't working, Twitter is redirecting to company.com, not the given oauth_callback URL. Is there something I'm missing ? Kind regards, Mathew
[twitter-dev] Notification on Twitter when viewing Website

There is no one-click way to do this (if you think about it, if there were then the clickjackers would have a field day). You *can* pass a predefined status string to Twitter and then the user can examine it and click Submit; there are various examples of this you can find in the group archives. But you can't simply build a tweet-button that way. How can I integrate a shortener service? Probably the easiest way is to preshorten the URL before you hand it off in your status string. That will depend on your shortener's API. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Dread each day as it comes. -- Donald Kaul -

Sounds like you are looking for a lightweight solution to allow people to share your page to twitter. bitly has a javascript shortener service, which you could call and prepopulate the anywhere dialog box.

[twitter-dev] WhiteListed Account change to OAuth
Hi Folks, I have this issue. I have a whitelisted Twitter account I use to query REST API with HTTP Basic Authentication. As my account was whitelisted, I could query 20,000 requests per hour. Because, now we have to change to OAuth, I have registered an application from my Twitter Account. But the RateLimitStatus for this application is back to 150 and not 20,000. How do I make sure my whitelisting applies when I use OAuth too? thank you. -Sunny
[twitter-dev] OAuth with Streaming API causes 500

Not currently. You can search by location and find users tweeting from there or nearby, but can't search by users at a specific location by profile.

[twitter-dev] Juitter - Some accounts aren't indexed by search?
Hey there, I'm working with Juitter (http://juitter.com) on a project and have noticed that some users tweets won't appear on the live stream. And not just accounts that are set to private, but regular twitter accounts. I have done some research and have found some saying that not all Twitter accounts are indexed by the Twitter search engine. Is there anything I can change in Juitter to fix it so it'll work with all non-private accounts? Or a way to force Twitter into indexing a certain account? Any and all information is welcomed. Thank you for your help.
Re: [twitter-dev] Juitter - Some accounts aren't indexed by search?
Hi, those are probably accounts which twitter filtered out. The docs are pretty clear on this and give practical advice: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_concepts Both the Streaming API and the Search API filter statuses created by a small proportion of accounts based upon status quality metrics. For example, frequent and repetitious status updates may, in some instances, and in combination with other metrics, result in a different status quality score for a given account. Results that are not selected by user id, for example: samples and keyword track, are filtered by this status quality metric. Results that are selected by user id, currently only results from the follow predicate, are unfiltered and allow all matching statuses to pass. If an expected user's statuses are not present in a non-follow-predicate stream type, manually cross-check the user against Search results. If the user's statuses are also not returned in Search, you can assume that the user's statuses will not be returned by non-follow-predicated streams. For more details see: http://help.twitter.com/forums/10713/entries/42646 which states, in part: In order to keep your search results relevant, Twitter filters search results for quality. Our search results will not include suspended accounts, or accounts that may jeopardize search quality. Material that degrades search relevancy or creates a bad search experience for people using Twitter may be permanently removed.
