Yeah, lots of protest out there, just watch the 'Links to this post:' below the Twitter blog post. There also is a hashtag to protest against this decision: #fixreplies . It is already in the 'Trending Topics' sidebar. Let's see how this evolves...

I could *swear* that show all @replies was the default at some point (maybe a long time ago when I joined). Now my friend's timeline is just a closed loop, and for (at least) the power users and people that understood the setting, the timeline has gotten a lot less interesting to watch. I know I'm screaming into the wind... I'm just glad I'm not alone. -Chad

[twitter-dev] Re: all replies by friends
Thanks, I'm familiar with the setting. Somehow the setting does not have any effect with the account I'm testing with: not when logged in to twitter.com, and not when using statuses/friends_timeline. Chad's posting made me do some tests with two other accounts: there the setting works as it should. The only difference between the accounts I can think of is that the misbehaving account is the one I used when applying for a higher rate limit (20,000). Could there be a relation? thanks, Jack On May 11, 8:38 pm, Doug Williams d...@twitter.com wrote: There is a setting to change this behavior: http://help.twitter.com/forums/23786/entries/14595 Thanks, Doug -- Doug Williams Twitter Platform Supporthttp://twitter.com/dougw On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: I'm confused now.

[twitter-dev] all replies by friends
Hi, Is there a feature in the API to get all replies from an account's friends in one single call? I'm trying to get a timeline similar to what a web site user sees with Notices @ Replies set to Show me all @ replies. A call to statuses/friends_timeline doesn't return replies to users that the account is not following. As a workaround I'm now simply fetching statuses/user_timeline.xml?user_id=123 for every friend. It would be easier for me and less strain on the API server if I could get them all in a single call. Another workaround would be to query the search API with something like from:user1 OR from:user2 [..]. Doable, but still messy... thx, Jack

Have you tried statuses/mentions?
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-mentions
No, because that's not what I'm looking for. Perhaps I shouldn't have
used the web site terminology ('replies'). I'm trying to get a
timeline with all statuses by friends of the authenticating user.
Basically statuses/friends_timeline + statuses directed at users
outside the circle of friends.
This is dependent on the user's current settings, of course.
In my tests statuses/friends_timeline did not return all statuses, no
matter what the setting for @ Replies is. Please correct me if I'm
wrong.
cheers, Jack

Just in case the Twitter developers missed it: right now, 'dangerous' characters such as and are being printed as amp;amp; and amp;gt; in bio's on the web site. Doesn't look very nice. Cheers!
[twitter-dev] Re: image upload with command line curl
The error was in my code. I finally got it working (man curl helped...). So just in case someone stumbles upon this thread, this works for me: curl -u username:password --header Expect: -F image=@/full/path/to/the/image.jpg https://twitter.com/account/update_profile_background_image.json All on one line.

[twitter-dev] image upload with command line curl
Hi,
I'm trying to set the background image of my account with PHP and a
command line CURL string. Here's the code:
$img = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/somefile.jpg';
$str = sprintf('curl -A \'%s\' -u %s:%s -d image=@%s
http://twitter.com/account/update_profile_background_image.json',
$user_agent, $username, $password, $img);
exec($str, $fb);
print_r($fb);
Currently this shows me an error page with Something is technically
wrong.
Is Twitter having upload issues, or is it my code?

Chances are good that, since you were using ol' reliable curl, the problem was on our end. Thanks for the reply. I've indeed noticed many availability issues, also when uploading images manually through the web site. Let's hope you guys get a couple of extra data centers soon :) For now I think I'll put this little project on the shelf. -- Jack de Vries
