[twitter-dev] Re: Accessing twitter.com on Windows CE devices (not Windows Mobile)
Have you tried going straight to http://twitter.com/login ? it does not redirect to mobile version and should render in mobile IE6. On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 9:37 AM, Andrew Badera and...@badera.us wrote: If you're writing custom code, simply set the user-agent header yourself. If you're stuck in IE6 for WinCE, and it's just you, I think there are registry settings you can hack. If you have wider distribution, you might be out of luck. I think this issue has been raised previously however. A fix from Twitter would be nice. ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew%20badera On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 8:01 PM, NaileBrotte nailebro...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm working on a device running Windows CE 6.0 / IE6 (not Windows Mobile 6), and when accessing www.twitter.com, I'm redirected to m.twitter.com (because the User Agent says Windows CE). The problem is that IE6 doesn't handle the login page that is being sent by the server because it's marked as application/xhtml+xml which IE doesn't handle and just offers for download. Is there a way to access the standard page? Or browse a fixed URL that wouldn't redirect to the mobile page? There must be a few devices like that with that same problem. Maybe the parsing of the User Agent could be made a bit more specific about what has to be identified as a mobile. Thanks in advance.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search Twitter (Java, C#) - Language Preferences?
I've integrated huge ASP.Net (C#) system with Twitter and had no problems with performance and open-source tools. For open-source C# Twitter API lib, I recommend Twitterizer http://code.google.com/p/twitterizer/ . It is quite easy to get started and very flexible. As for performance, it is just fine. Performance bottleneck is Twitter API itself, which is sometimes slow, but that doesn't depend on your programming language. Hadn't used search API though, so cannot comment about it.

I have been happy with using c# and .NET as it has a good class structure, and also Winforms works well for writing client-server applications. Recently, I have seen much less interest in C# from developers. I want to integrate search results from twitter into the current system and I am thinking of what languages to use. I have googled what language to use, and the limits of JSON and ATOM have placed some restrictions on what I can do. Especially, some developers have complained about performance issues using C# and .NET related to serialization of the data. Does anyone have any experience of Twitter API's and especially the search? If so, are there are machine performance issues, or issues with finding open source code?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter didn't tinyurl my tweets tonight
Twitter never tinyurls my links from API, tinyurls them only from web interface. Sometimes I even use it as a 'feature' - post link from API if I don't want it to be auto-tinyurled! On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 8:20 AM, bcballard bcball...@gmail.com wrote: I use the Twitter API to post article titles followed by a link to the article, and sometimes a repeat of the domain name if I think Twitter is going to tinyurl me. Generaly Twitter converts URLs with characters it doesn't like [^A-Za-z0-9.:/], or URLs in tweets that are too long, to tinyurls. However, this evening, none of the URLs I posted were converted to tinyurls. Not even the ones with characters Twitter doesn't like, and not the one that was too long. Here are the status updates I expected to be tinyurled, followed by a link to the individual tweet as it appeared on Twitter. The first 3 contain bad characters (underscores or commas), but are fewer than 140 chars: GA approves more charter schools http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/stories/2009/04/01/georgia_charter_school.html (ajc.com) http://twitter.com/GeorgiaLogCabin/status/1436345350 Obama's tax pledge up in smoke http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090401/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_tax_promise (news.yahoo.com) http://twitter.com/GeorgiaLogCabin/status/1436192094 Sweden recognizes marriage equality http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25277939-12335,00.html (theaustralian.news.com.au) http://twitter.com/GeorgiaLogCabin/status/1436147039 This one has bad characters (dashes) and is longer than 140 chars: Obama wants anti-gay advisor http://www.usnews.com/blogs/god-and-country/2009/03/31/exclusive-former-nfl-coach-tony-dungy-invited-to-join-white-house-faith-council.html (usnews.com) http://twitter.com/GeorgiaLogCabin/status/1436319188 That last one shows on http://twitter.com/GeorgiaLogCabin with a truncated URL that causes it to link to a broken story. However, on the individual Tweet link above, the URL is not truncated and works fine... So I have one main question with a few possible answers: Q: What happened to Twitter's auto-tinyurl convert? Possible answers? A1: Tinyurl just happened to be down during the time I was posting updates, so Twitter couldn't request tinyurls and used my long ones (though other people's tweets before, during and after mine appear to be tinyurled as normal.) A2: Twitter just this evening stopped tinyurl-ing my tweets, but not anybody else's (at least not anyone I happen to follow.) A3: Some Twitter bug nobody's aware of (I searched the FAQs, this message board, and via Google and didn't find anyone else with this particular issue.) A4: Some other reason? Any ideas?

Re: Create Twitter Account using the API?
No, it's impossible to create an account via API. It is done for security reasons, I suppose.
