[twitter-dev] Re: New Photo upload feature: What's new coming on the API side
Similar services on Twitter clients and other social networks screen for objectionable content. Will Twitter have some system to avoid the pitfalls faced by other, similar services? If the content is uploaded on to Twitter's servers, you are taking responsibility for it.

[twitter-dev] Re: TWITTER BANS 3rd PARTY ADVERTISING
I hope some answers are forthcoming, James. Twitter doesn't seem very talkative.
[twitter-dev] Re: TWITTER BANS 3rd PARTY ADVERTISING
Sponsored Tweets at least announced that the content was advertising. I think this language will just lead to advertising without proper disclosure by the user (which was used in keeping with the FTC ruling on this issue). Some celebs bloggers will still accept money Tweet about products, just without indicating publicly that they've been paid. Also, you say We don't seek to control what users Tweet but that's exactly what you are doing by preventing users from Tweeting advertisement should they wish to. I know you can set whatever rules you like regardless of how they affect people or developers but don't make a ban on using Tweets for certain kinds of content and then say that you're not trying to control the content. Clearly, that is what you're doing. That's what a ban is, exerting your control over content. In my opinion, you've picked the wrong target. I'm also not sure how paid Tweets by individual users is any different from commercial/organization accounts using Twitter to offer discounts, specials, sales, etc. Why does the advertising ban apply to individuals and not to companies?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Platform blog post
Thanks for the clarification, Ryan. This distinction isn't clear in the original blog post. I also wasn't sure what the difference was between me posting a message that I love Reebok shoes and Starbucks posting they have a special on Frappuccinos. If advertising was prohibited from Tweets, it would apply to commercial accounts as well as individual ones. But you say that's not the case. At this point, I'm not sure what services DO fall under the prohibition guidelines but I guess they are ones where the users have given advertisers blanket control to post whatever they want on their Tweetstream. In effect, this sounds like advertising spam with a third party taking over individual users' accounts. Liz nwjersey...@yahoo.com

[twitter-dev] Re: Why is UNIQLO LUCKY LINEに行列 trending?
It seems like there are two issues: 1) whether Twitter should disallow these messages to be sent out and 2) whether Twitter should screen these spammy messages out of the possible choices for trending topics.
[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Platform blog post
Ryan, It's confusing to me that Dick says there will be no third party ads (8th paragraph) but under Fostering Innovation, #2, he talks apps about selling ads. Does this decision do away with services like Sponsored Tweets? I appreciate such a thoughtful blog post (and hope there are more in the future) but what is absent is any language of partnership or collaboration. Twitter's goals are stated and basically, everyone else has to deal with the consequence. Also, the language of optimizing user experience. Can you tell me what is the basis of user experience testing that occurs at Twitter? Because there is no mechanism for users to offer feedback to Twitter about their experience. How do you know whether a development enhances user experience or not? It seems like Twitter does what they think is best, regardless of what the bulk of users might want. Thanks for any answers you can provide. Liz Pullen nwjer...@yahoo.com
[twitter-dev] Re: TWITTER BANS 3rd PARTY ADVERTISING
Peter, I think the problem is that business have been created, received funding and developed over the past year, with the full knowledge of Twitter, and this just undercuts destroys them. I think people can understand the rationale (and the desire for Twitter to eliminate competition) but this is a policy decision that should have been made over a year ago. Twitter should have included this in an earlier terms of service instead of giving an implicit okay to services like Sponsored Tweets which has turned into a successful company. It also seems disingenuous that the blog post says that a guiding principle of Twitter is that We don't seek to control what users tweet. And users own their own tweets. and allow adult-oriented content and photos but for some reason, users can't Tweet ads. That sounds like control of content to me. Liz
[twitter-dev] Classic ASP oAuth?
Looking to add twitter integration to Classic ASP. I have a page that tweets automatically, which I got to work with Basic Auth, of course that is going to be depreciated soon so I have to get oAuth working. Another thing I have to do is to verify credentials, for which I have to store people's info since I haven't been able to get oAuth to work. Of course, my workaround is not working either, since I can't seem to get verify_credentials to actually work with classic asp, it just always returns a 401. strUsername = request.form(twitterUserName) strPassword = request.form(twitterPassword) Set xml = Server.CreateObject(Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0) xml.Open GET, http://; strUsername : strPassword @api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xml response.write(http://; strUsername : strPassword @api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xml) xml.setRequestHeader Content-Type, content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 xml.Send Response.Write xml.responseText 'view Twitter's response Set xml = Nothing This just plain does not work.

[twitter-dev] Location of a Tweet
I am new to java and I was wondering if anybody knew how to get the location of a tweet (not the geolocation) using the twitter4j Library when you do a query class search. Thanks
[twitter-dev] Twitter4j GeoLocation
I was wondering if anyone knew how to search within a specific geolocation and then have the coordinates (when applicable) to show up in the results. I am able to search for a specific term within a certain area. I can also search for a specific term, not in a specific area and have the lat and long show up in the search results. But I cannot get both to happen at the same time (search in an area, and return the specific lat and long if they have one). I'm using the twitter4j Library for Java Is this possible?
[twitter-dev] twitter GeoLocation
i'm having trouble getting a geolocation to show up when I am searching within a specific radius of a geolocation. i'm using the twitter4j library. is it possible to search a location and have the specific lat and long returned in the results. thanks
[twitter-dev] Re: Find Location where tweet came from
I was reading this thread and I was wondering if anyone knew how to
search within a specific geolocation and then have the coordinates
(when applicable) to show up in the results. I got my program to
search within a certain area, and I was able to get the coordinates
when not looking in a specific area, but I cannot get it to do both.
Is it possible

Hi,
Is there an easy way to convert these geo-codes into actual locations.
I'm using a lookup table which has been created by matching (geo-code)
- (location specified by the user). But i was wondering if there is a
Yahoo Placemaker kind of service that developers are already using for
twitter.

I apologize if this has been previously covered, but it appears that
explicit geotag info is not shown for any tweet returned via the
search API, regardless of whether a user has authorized public geo
reporting.
As a result, it is possible to determine what is being said in a
specific location, but it is not possible to determine where people
are talking about a specific subject.
I understand you not wanting to show all the signals that lead to a
geo search match, but I can't grok why you're witholding specific
metadata from the search results.
Any light you can shed would be valuable to my customers. Any plans to
change this policy would be rad.
