[twitter-dev] Re: How you are notified of whitelisting status

2009-08-22 Thread Goblin
You get notification in the form of a DM to the account you applied for whitelisting with. In my experience it takes anything from 2 days to over a week, depending on how much DDoS Twitter is under at the time. On Aug 21, 5:40 pm, Neicole neic...@trustneicole.com wrote: We applied for

I use Elliot's library on www.twitlonger.com and it is really easy to work with. Integrates nicely, easy to maintain and, quite frankly, when there's something out there to do the boring bit it's a much better idea to use that than writing your own. On Aug 14, 7:51 pm, Peter Denton

LOL, problems are now all sorted, lawyers happy it isn't confusing anymore. Turns out that he thought there was a big grey box in it, similar to the new Twitter front page, but only because he was using IE6 and I don't bother applying any transparent png fixes :) On Aug 14, 3:16 am, Zac Bowling

Yep. I'm at the stage now for personal projects (and clients if they are cool with it) that I'm just not worrying anymore about IE6. Twitlonger runs about 3% IE6 so it's just not worth degrading the experience for the people with decent browsers to make exceptions for those living in the past.

To be fair, the new version mostly seemed to please the guy I was on the phone with, but I got the impression he was shooting from the hip when he said that I would probably need to change the blue in the logo. It just seems weird that we spend two or three years building sites with the

I got a letter from a UK law firm too regarding www.twitlonger.com (which clearly doesn't use the word Twitter). They weren't too draconian in their claims. They want a disclaimer put on the site (fair enough) and for me to stop using the little blue birds (again, fair enough. This is what

Here's a thought, if Twitter has allowed a specific site to have their application name added to the posted from list, is that tacit permission to use the name? They've been happy to show messages as posted from Twitteriffic, which uses their name and, it could be argued, have explicitly allowed
