2010-11-20 Thread John Kalucki
This isn't how Site Streams should work. First, you should only open 25 connections per second. Second, have you calculated how much bandwidth is required to download all of the initial notifications and subsequent updates? I'd suspect insufficient bandwidth as the first cause of these kinds of

What about users who want their tweets to be repeated? Politicians, celebrities, product managers, and many others use Twitter as a broadcast medium. You can argue that this is wrong, or that Twitter is only for direct contact between one person and another, but that is like saying paper was only

Thanks. But I know how to do that. I mean when the user returns to the site, generally just like a remember me cookie. The Facebook API checks for a current Facebook session so long as the user has activated the app, so it behaves like a cookie by automatically logging the user in. My custom user

Why not just use a GUID or UUID type for the ID type (IE: 3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301)? This way you're not restricted by using a numeric data type that each language could potentially define differently. For languages that don't directly have a GUID or UUID type, they can treat that ID

Actually, I /could/ just use a cookie for that, right? Just set a special Twitter cookie and when the user returns, redirect them to the auth/login page if they don't have a session set but do have the cookie set. I think that would work. It's not as seamless as Facebook but oh well. =P On Nov

Hi folks - I'm a user rather than a developer so not even sure I should be here. If I need to head off somewhere else let me know where but my attempts to find what I need on the bit of the Twitter site dealing with APIs has foundered on jargon (theirs) and ignorance (mine). What I'd like to do
