[twitter-dev] Hello from Mark Mason
I am interested in building a couple of twitter applications and would like to use all the code I can find. Would like to know how to have a twitter app add a stripe to a user's avatar.

[twitter-dev] Longitude and latitude Pairs for major cities
I can get a longitude and latitude for a city like chicago, but I do I
get the 2 pairs for locations=?
this is what i have for NYC
define('LOCATIONS_TO_TRACK',-74,40,-73,41);
how to I decide if I want the whole city?
[twitter-dev] Re: Longitude and latitude Pairs for major cities
Just as with the track parameter, queries are subject to Track
Limitations, described in Track Limiting and subject to access roles,
described in the statuses/filter method. Both the number and size of
bounding boxes is limited. Bounding boxes must be less than one
degree per side, and you may specify up to ten bounding boxes.
Is there a tool to help me stay in 10 boxes?
Need

I am lazy programmer, not indiana jones - still can't read a map.

[twitter-dev] Re: Longitude and latitude Pairs for major cities
I am beginning to think, that this locations= filter is very limited.
OK it works for SFC and NYC.
Chicago and LA is getting very little traffic and mostly errors.

[twitter-dev] Streaming ENGLISH Tweets
I have a Stream Sample and Stream Filter that I need to pull only English Tweets. How should I do this?
[twitter-dev] Re: if you will be using the Geolocation API ...
For those using the iphone and tweetdeck, you can click the locate icon and your iPhone: Long:Lat is updated on your profilie.location. I am interested in GEO locate, so products can find you. Example, You are on interstate driving or passenger, and it is after 3am, and you tweet... Holiday Inn can message you with a link to a nearby hotel. Or you tweet I am hungry, and restaurants find you. just rambling On Aug 29, 8:26 am, Nicole Simon nee...@gmail.com wrote: reading up on the dev list, I noticed some replies to the geolocation thing and sorry to matt for picking his reply ;)) I'd like to add some of the usual stuff we know US based devs do forget but would be really great if they just thought about it because the rest of the world likes to use them too. Also I am surprised that the geolocation of the person can be attached to the tweets but still not to the profile - something which would make location based services so much easier, even without having each tweet tell the world where you are? Short summary: - when developping your app, please make sure to get international users to test them and get their input so you don't make something US-only - before adding a geo location to every tweet, i rather expect people to be willing to add a real location in long / lat to their profile. having it just in the tweets is the second step without doing the first. the ecosytem would profit much more from it, would it be a profile thing.

It's not like browsers are actually accurate as an actual gps (netbooks iPhone... Chipsets will change that soon) great. my zipcode is 23554, and that resolves to Lübeck, SH. :) As in: there is more on the world than just US zipcodes. Searches for anything outside of the US have been proven to be quite ineffective as they resolve around things currently like name of town. And that usually fails alone because the search does not recognize the name of the town as it is locally. // Sorting / overemphasize of state level Very often, location based application do go for the state level (as the US has so many of them) and does include the country, but neglects that others might like geographic centers. If you do an application please use a format like continent - country - town - exact location state in this is optional in many cases and not the center point in many countries. more often than that, there is the additional level above town like car plate key or else. // Outputting wrong characters if you use the application to resolve against something with the coordinates please make sure your application does understand special characters when you output them (like Lübeck) // I dont want to share that As a user, I might want to share with the world my country or my town where I am currently at but not pinpointing me on the map. Matt also brought up the the point about threats on exact geolocation. I know of at least one couple who got separated because the guy did a location aware thing from the new girls house. But I would not mind sharing my location in my profile in general. For purposes of human profile readers, I do not put long and lat in my profile, and if I do use the correct Lübeck, Deutschland most of my visitors do not understand if they are from outside Germany. Which is why I am opting for Germany. Not because I want -but because that is the lowest thing we all can agree on being understandable. Nicole
[twitter-dev] Would like to have a database of tweets for a filter
Is there a predefined way to get results from a search into a table? Getting data from a search into a file, now need to get file into table. curl http://twitter.com/#search.atom?q=missuniverse -o v:\twittersts \searchmsu2.xml To get all past tweets about #missuniverse, I would do a search. To get all future tweets I can do a stream filter and/or search. correct?
