[twitter-dev] Re: Bad Celebrity Search Results
Hi Brendan, found out how? references? or merely observed per the link? It's curious because it might be throwing off my calculated 'coolness vector' - I noticed the coolness vector of a tweet containing a celebs name seemed lower than anticipiated - however it wasn't the point of the experiment, mind you - I just found the downplay sorta odd and mad- ening. :-) Thanks Waitman On May 13, 6:44 pm, Brendan O'Connor breno...@gmail.com wrote: i just found out some high-volume users aren't indexed at all. for example:

naw, i *think* he's talking about mangled shortened URLs. i had to make my thingy adapt to these, because I noticed stuff like http://example.com/R5dEI want to show you this link ie, something drops the newline and mashes the Url together. or something like that. It's an easy cake fix on the shortened-url server end of things. And I don't think it's a twitter thingy, it's probably one of those link invader sites.

[twitter-dev] Re: API Changed for April 22, 2009
Hello, Thank you for the updates. I have a few questions. 1) Should I use REST instead of the Search API? Will the REST deprecate the Search soon, or maybe eventually, or no worries at this moment? 2) asking the search API for 100 results seems to work, but does not appear accessible from the advanced search page - can I expect to continue to receive a set of 100 results with one request? 3) The search results appear to always be ordered by post time, in ascending order. Are there currently plans to change this behavior? For example, in a multiple word OR query it might be more interesting for a human to see the AND results for the same words at the very top, but of course they would not necessarily be in chronological order. I want to calculate the coolness vector for a search phrase, and sequence is essential. Have a great night.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter didn't tinyurl my tweets tonight
is this issue dead? I've been thinking about it - comments... anyone? 1) Not auto-rewriting URLs on input leaves the system susceptible to various gregarious manipulation. It's currently trivial to get 10,000 visitors a day to click out of twitter and potentially up to 100,000 a day - fictional scenario: tweeter's rival gang twanker bugs the system in order to show their flag to tweeter's posse. BUT, 2) with auto-rewriting URLs on input: a) ruins applications that operate as link sites - or at least makes them incredibly boring. b) dings the traffic (potentially big ding) to existing url shorter apps. c) provides a mechanism to monitor and control off-site traffic. d) makes the twitter data far less interesting to outside parsing apps. have a great day. waitman On Apr 4, 8:58 am, Ariadne ariadne@gmail.com wrote: Chad Etzel wrote: Whethertinyurlis the best service to use for this purpose is arguable, and probably off-topic for this thread, but it does save a lot of characters. -Chad I've never thought of not shortening URLs myself but bit.ly gives a slightly shorter link thantinyurland sometimes that matters.
[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter didn't tinyurl my tweets tonight
I think the thing shouldn't mess with the post anyway, it seems
prudent to preserve the integrity of the original post instead of
manipulating it - snip, snip. If we were here posting novels all day,
I say the desire for automatic machine-abridged versions is arguable.
And I think it goes into the area of making a policy auto-decide which
bits of the 140 characters are deemed not desirable.
supposititious conceptualization == {snip,snip} == fake idea
I believe there is a limit to the post text, and if the URL causes the
post to exceed the determined character length, I'm not sure that
shortening it on the inbound makes sense.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter didn't tinyurl my tweets tonight
oh. i suppose i was confused by your example. So I'm not sure why shortening the URL makes any sense, if 1) I can't send HTML and 2) I can't send more than 140 to begin with. from the top of my head, the only thing that makes sense to me regarding URL shortening done on the receiving end of the message (by twitter) is to remove all external URL's from posts, a la myspace - you know, they're going to do you a favor by removing all external links from their site. but i'm totally *not* advocating it.
