Re: [twitter-dev] Tweet Button Not Working
I think that may have worked. It's a pain in the patootie that I have to manually enter the web address in for each blog post, but still, it's better than nothing I guess. Thanks!

FYI, I'm operating at a very basic level here and have designed my website with iWeb. I've added the button to my page with no trouble but when I click on the Tweet Button, the link that gets posted only shows a tiny image of the Tweet Button itself and not my website. Upon further inspection I've noticed the following added to the end of my page's url: _files/ widget2_markup.html. The correct url doesn't have this info. In fact, deleting it from the address does bring up the page correctly. I have selected the Tweet Button to post the url for the page that it's posted on and not a custom url. Is this an incompatibility with iWeb? Any help would be appreciated.

[twitter-dev] Re: Introducing the Tweet Button
I'd like a way to add this to my google site(s), but google is trying to protect me from the referenced .js - any way around this? On Aug 12, 10:28 am, themattharris thematthar...@twitter.com wrote: Hey everyone, Today we’re launching the Tweet Button to make it easy for your users to share your website with their followers. When they click on the Tweet Button, a Tweet box will appear pre-populated with a message and link chosen by you. Once they have sent a Tweet they can choose to follow accounts recommended by you. All of this happens on your website, so the user never has to leave. You have complete control over the suggested text of the Tweet Button, who the Tweet should be attributed to and recommendations of who to follow. All of this is possible through a line of javascript and a few URL parameters or data attributes of a link. To add this to your own site grab it fromhttp://twitter.com/tweetbutton, or create your own using our developer documentation,http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button Read more about the Tweet Button on our blog,http://blog.twitter.com/2010/08/pushing-our-tweet-button.html Best Matt -- Matt Harris Developer Advocate, Twitterhttp://twitter.com/themattharris

How difficult is it to, as part of the build, check for a key file, if it doesn't exist, go to Twitter and do the stuff to get the tokens, parse the tokens and save in the key file, and then continue on with the build.

[twitter-dev] auto-reply?
Hey, im starting on a new project and was wandering if anyone can help? The project consists of twittering to the user (through @) and then having the user automatically reply to that user (again through @) with a message that someone has sent to it. scenario: the twitter user orange has the following messages sent to them (through @): -...@orange 1 -...@orange 2 -...@orange 3 -...@orange 4 -...@orange 5 then, when someone else sends an @ message to orange, orange would automaically reply to that user with a randomly selected previous @ message (1 or 2 or 3 etc...). any ideas/help? anything is appreciated. -bruce
