[twitter-dev] Re: Comments for the group and Twitter staff
Hey Alex, would you consider just giving everybody their money back if they aren't 100% satisfied?

Our revised mobile site is built entirely on the API, and our Facebook application has been built off our API for some time. Dogfooding! We support it.

We had similar quality problems at a place I formerly worked, and they were solved, completely, when such a policy was instituted. Yeah, it puts pressure on the API team and may inconvenience the UI team, or whatever you call them, but in the long run it will be worth it. Side effects that we saw were a simpler, cleaner, more consistent architecture for the whole system, and lower total costs to develop and maintain the system. Bite the bullet and do it now. The longer you wait, the more difficult and expensive it will be.

Twitter.com should move to using their own API. The tools they use to power their own site should be the same tools we use and rely on. In all reality, this seems a simpler approach, rather than pushing out code for their stuff, and then essentially backporting that to an API, just work on making the API, and then integrate that into the twitter.com site. As far as I can tell, this would solve pretty much every problem the API has, as there can not be a case where twitter is down, but the API is up, or the API is down, and twitter is up. Twitter should be eating their own dog food :) -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ * -- Alex Payne - Platform Lead, Twitter, Inc. http://twitter.com/al3x
[twitter-dev] Re: non json response
I'm seeing tons of these as well. However, I've found that if you follow the suggestion of the META tag to simply refresh in 0.1 seconds if you get this bogus response, you can hide most of this from users, especially if they are on a fast network.
