Re: [twitter-dev] Trying to get rid of twitter spammers
Unfortunately we do not have any time to implement a spam filter/ranking algorithm. Besides I think this issue should be resolved on the twitter side. Some people are sending tweets in reply to *all* twitter users. I think the spammer twitter accounts and their tweets should be analyzed. The behaviour I see: Open a new twitter account No need to follow anyone But tweet as a reply to some people with some spam message as many as hundreds. As I said earlier, the tweets contain lol word in common. example: https://twitter.com/madiav_isBOMB https://twitter.com/ddubplneandonly for more caught by our system (as a reply to Turkish twitter-ers): http://twitturk.com/tweet/search?q=lol On Sun, Nov 28, 2010 at 12:10 AM, Adam Green 140...@gmail.com wrote: My final suggestion is to rank users by something (age of account, number of mentions/mentioners/followers/following) and cut out the bottom N%.

Re: [twitter-dev] Trying to get rid of twitter spammers
The text in these spam tweets are not easy to recognize. They do not repeat. They are mixed of different words and they contain a link. They seem to be sent via web. The ranking and discarding some mentions will not completely resolve the problem. Because our mention data and trending words data both were affected. We donot want to eliminate tweets from innocent people who have few followers. The simplest way seems to be just ignoring the tweets coming from outside of the community. But those tweets were helping us to extend our network.

[twitter-dev] streaming api delete status notice problem
We aggregate tweets of a few thousands of people using Streaming API follow. Streaming api gives us tweets of other people who mention our set of users. The problem rises when the other people delete their tweets. These delete notifications do not reach us and we can not delete those tweets. We just try to show who said what about a twitter-er. But not the deleted ones. A similar problem occurs while we try to aggregate retweets. The undo retweet messages of unfollowed users are not receieved. We do want to show true and accurate results. Any quick fix suggestion is appreciated.

Re: [twitter-dev] undo retweets in stream api
Is there any fix for this issue? We try to calculate the order and the number of retweets of a person's tweet whom we follow through stream api. However the retweets and undo-retweets of people whom we don't follow accumulates and increases the RT number. On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 6:47 PM, John Kalucki j...@twitter.com wrote: Various counts are off on Twitter right now, so you shouldn't be basing much on counts. If you are following the original tweeter, you get the retweet, but not the deletion. If you are following the retweeter, you get both the retweet and the deletion notice. This is due to a limitation in the deletion message format -- there isn't enough information to route the message in the first case. This affects several streaming use cases, and is a known issue that we, eventually, hope to fix the next time we're in that part of the code.

Re: [twitter-dev] Farsi Twitter App
You are right. Separate subpopulation s are out of our reach. Apart from following/friendship connection we look at mentions and follow them as well. If a new comer or a man from other population mentions one of the people in our network, his tweet will reach us and we can test him and add as well. Thank you, I will look at the paper. 2010/7/4 Pascal Jürgens lists.pascal.juerg...@googlemail.com Interesting. Your method is similar to the breadth-first crawl that many people do (for example, see the academic paper by Kwak et al. 2010). You have to keep in mind, however, that you are only crawling the giant component of the network, the connected part. If there are any turkish users who have their *separate* subpopulation, which is not connected to the rest, you won't find those. You could easily find those with a sample stream. Although I have to admit that the number of non-connected users is not so big, no one has really tested that so far.

In order to get results quickly (rather than every few hours via user timeline calls), you need streaming access, which is a bit more complicated. I implemented such a system in order to track the german-speaking population of twitter users, and it works extremely well. 1) get access to the sample stream (5% or 15% type) (warning: the 15% stream is ~10GB+ a day) 2) construct an efficient cascading language filter, ie: - first test the computationally cheap AND precise attributes, such as a list of known farsi-only keywords or the location box - if those attribute tests are negative, perform more computationally expensive tests - if in doubt, count it as non-farsi! False positives will kill you if you sample a very small population! 3) With said filter, identify the accounts using farsi 4) Perform a first-degree network sweep and scan all their friends+followers, since those have a higher likelihood to speak farsi as well 5) compile a list of those known users 6) track those users with the shadow role stream (80.000 users) or higher. If your language detection code is not efficient enough, you might want to include a cheap, fast and precise negative filter of known non-farsi attributes. Test that one before all the others and you should be able to filter out a large part of the volume. Don't hesitate to ask for any clarification!
