[twitter-dev] Re: Geo-caching Without Lat/Long
Great; thanks for the clarification Matt. But I'm still having trouble
actually tweeting UTF-8 characters. If I tweet this:
This is an @test …
without quotes where you can see an actual ellipsis (single UTF-8
character), I get a successful response code (200), but nothing is
actually tweeted. If I tweet this:
This is an @test ...
without quotes where you can see just three dots, I get a successful
response code (200), and the tweet is actually successful.

Special UTF-8 characters are treated the same as the standard

So a string like wondering what's happening … will be treated as 27
characters (without the quotes).
When we receive a Tweet with UTF-8 characters in it we convert them
into their HTML entity representation to ensure consistency between
clients and reliable storage in the databases. This means, when you
query the API, you may notice the Tweet has more than 140 characters
in it. This is expected and is a result of the UTF-8 conversion.

[twitter-dev] Re: Geo-caching Without Lat/Long
Interesting; thank you. I found the solution using your information.
Basically, PHP acts funny with raw utf characters, and in reality I
needed to pass three hex characters like so:
$message =
sprintf(1234567890123412345678901234123456789012341234567890123412345678901234123456789012341234567890123412345678901234123456789012341234567890123\xE2\x80\xA6);
//
utf(ellipsis)
Note the three hex characters on the end, and the 139 numbers
proceeding it. This returned a 200 and actually tweeted.
Thanks again everyone.

[twitter-dev] Re: Geo-caching Without Lat/Long
Ahh I see. Thank you. I hope you don't mind the barrage of questions
but I have 2 more. For starters, max_results=1 doesn't appear to work.
When I append it to any valid url, I get a 404 status return. Second,
I'm having no luck with UTF encoding. I wish to encode my string to
take advantage of the ellipsis (...) as a single character to save my
precious 140.
Now, when I use php's built in utf8_encode function as such:
utf8_encode($title...$url);, only the url gets tweeted. I know I
wrote ... here, but I used the ellipsis character in my php source.
Also, the old documentation says that utf encoded tweets are escaped
with two additional characters that DO take away from the 140
limit. The new documentation hints at the opposite. What's the
verdict?
Thanks Matt!

The geo/reverse_geocode method only supports json so make sure you are

Also, the method doesn't require authorisation so there is no need to

Okay thanks for the reply. I'm building a news aggregator so the goal
was to enter the location manually. Still, I'm having trouble with the
geo-coding method. I'm using Abraham's php library and I do the
following:
$location = $connection-get('geo/reverse_geocode', array('lat'
=
'37.75' , 'long' = '122.68'));
echo $connection-http_code;
Which returns 404. $location-id is empty. Any thoughts as to what I'm
doing wrong?

Hey Bryan,
Status updates only accept lat/long or place_id. There isn't a way of
providing plain text locations for these fields. If you wish to
display a
textual representation of where someone is on your app you would need
to
carry out a reverse geocode first.
I don't know the method you are using to obtain the location but
generally
we see developers use the lat/long returned by the browser or device.
One thing that might be useful to know is that we perform a reverse
lookup
on the lat/long when we display the tweet, converting it to some
textual
description like SoMa, San Francisco, or from here as
appropriate.
Hope that answers your question,
Matt

Hey everyone, is there a way to geo-tweet with the API without
knowing
the Lat/Long? In other words, can I say San Francisco, CA or
search
for valid place_id's with this name? I'm trying to make my user
interface as user-friendly as possible, and asking for lat/long for
my
userbase won't work. I also want to rely on as few as API's as
possible, so I'd prefer not to run my name through Google's Map API
and then through the reverse geocode API on twitters. Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Re: APRS data on twitter?
I think the proper way to interact with the active APRS network is via an iGate. http://www.aprs-is.net/APRSServers.aspx I think there would simply be too much traffic and it would be in a format that would require translation to work with Twitter. If you want interactivity going back onto the APRS network you could potentially run into control operator/third party regulations issues. Anyone can monitor the APRS network. However, you must be a licensed Amateur Radio operator to put traffic out onto the RF network. For others, learn more about APRS here: http://www.aprs.org/ Personally, I don't see a benefit of having the data stream across Twitter. Now, if you are interested in being able to use Twitter type APIs for processing, you might consider writing an APRS to Twitter adapter. Again, you'd likely need to do some transformation to keep it within Twitter specs.

[twitter-dev] Given bad Consumer Keys/Secret Keys
I've been wrestling with getting OAuth in my Django application to work; as I've been receiving the (401, 'Unauthorized', 'Failed to validate oauth signature and token') error at the request_token stage. My clock is synced, so that was never a problem for me. I started to analyze the URLs coming out of the OAuth library, but those always looked fine. Then I got some help from a friend who in turn let me try his application. I used my keys with his application and they failed (when obviously, his application worked). Then I thought to do the reverse. So I used his keys with my application and the authorization screen came up as expected. I have no idea what could be causing this and I've thoroughly stumped friends of mine as well. The only thing I can think of is that the keys I'm being given don't work. Note that I've reset them and I have created new applications, but with no luck.
RE: [twitter-dev] Re: Streaming Api - Keywords matched
Have you researched Vector Space Model (VSM) and cosine theta calculations or approximations? You could calculate one of the approximations on the incoming stream yourself. Check out this paper http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dlee/Papers/ir/ieee-sw-rank.pdf Regards, Bryan

At first glance the system looks fine, and the operational team isn't in response mode. This is puzzling. Seems like a connectivity issue upstream from twitter. At lest a few developers: please send a traceroute to this list. Also, if you aren't timing out, but rather are getting an HTTP error, send the response headers. After say 4 or 5 responses, they'll probably have enough info to triage this. -John Kaluckihttp://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

Re: TwitPicGrid = TwitPic + TweetGrid mashup
harper, didn't you have something like this with lj photos? __ mk2dev.com On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 19:36, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, With many thanks to Noah Everett (the TwitPic dude) for allowing the use of TwitPic thumbnails, I have created TwitPicGrid at http://tweetgrid.com/twitpicgrid as a mashup. Watch new TwitPics arrive as they are tweeted, or search for keywords associated with the pics. Could be interesting for real-time pics of events (Apple keynote, Inaguration (oops, too late), Steven Fry being trapped in an elevator, etc...), or just searching for everyone's cat. Feedback welcome. Enjoy. -Chad
