[twitter-dev] filter stream with follow predicate
Is filter stream working fine with follow predicate. My application is keep resetting the connection again and again and even on curl connection drops just after it is created. Thanks, Alam Sher
Re: [twitter-dev] Logical AND supported in streaming API filter endpoint
I love you guys. You did it ... That has increased the Streaming usability to some 1000 times. Thanks in million ways, Alam Sher On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 10:03 AM, M.

Today we're happy to announce that we support logical ANDing in production as well. The track parameter is treated as a series of phrases. Phrases are separated by commas. Words within phrases are delimited by spaces. A tweet matches if any phrase matches. A phrase matches if all of the words are present in the tweet. (e.g. 'the twitter' is 'the' AND 'twitter', and 'the,twitter' is 'the' OR 'twitter'.). Some examples... 1) twitter api,twitter streaming ( http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.xml?track=twitter+api%2Ctwitter+streaming ) will match the tweets The Twitter API is awesome and The twitter streaming deal is fast, but not I'm new to Twitter 2) The same approach to dealing with case, punctuation, @replies and hashtags still applies. So chirp search,chirp streaming ( http://stream.twitter.com/1statuses/filter.xml?track=chirp+search%2Cchirp+streaming ) will match Listening to the @chirp talk on search, I'm at Chirp talking about search!, and loving this search talk #chirp This should dramatically close the gap on what you can do with the search API but not with streaming, and also reduce the amount of data users have to consumer to match on multiple keywords.

Re: [twitter-dev] Upcoming changes to the way status IDs are sequenced
Yup, I am using since_id as well in my application to perform various sequential tasks. Hopefully new id generation scheme will have this parameter support using some alternatives at least.

What will be the replacement for since_id and max_id? Taylor Singletary wrote: We are planning to replace our current sequential tweet ID generation routine with a simple, more scalable solution. IDs will still be 64-bit unsigned integers. However, this new solution is no longer guaranteed to generate sequential IDs. Instead IDs will be derived based on time: the most significant bits being sourced from a timestamp and the least significant bits will be effectively random. For the majority of applications we think this scheme switch will be a non-event. Before implementing these changes, we'd like to know if your applications currently depend on the sequential nature of IDs. Do you depend on the density of the tweet sequence being constant? Are you trying to analyze the IDs as anything other than opaque, ordered identifiers? Aside for guaranteed sequential tweet ID ordering, what APIs can we provide you to accomplish your goals?

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter API Request to Get the List of Friends Who have not followed you back
I think its the simplest of features to implement using existing Twitter API as Scott suggest. Just write a method in your service to fetch friends ids and followers ids and then compare these ids to separate the list of followers ids who are not friends. Then provide links to unfollow these ids on interface. Is that difficult? Not at all. Some client side programming is needed only.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API Best Practice (Multiple Connections or Single)
Okay, great. When we say a default access account or elevated access is TOO FULL. Does that mean, we have started getting rate limit messages in stream? Or it is something else?

[twitter-dev] Streaming API Best Practice (Multiple Connections or Single)
Hi, What is the best practice if I have 20K twitter user base and I want to track user's specific keywords via statuses/filter? Should I distribute the processing on multiple nodes, lets say open a streaming connection tracking keywords for 5K users each (on different IPs or same IP with different authenticating users)? Or just apply for a bigger access level and use a single connection to get the whole thing. Thanks, Alam Sher
