That's not so bad. So you're saying search is going to consider either user loc or tweet loc (and I assume pick the closest)? On Nov 20, 4:57 pm, Raffi Krikorian wrote: > that is currently unsupported -- right now you will get both.  you   > could, once receiving the search results, filter on th

How does this interact with the search mechanism, if at all? i.e. when I do a near search, I *don't* want tweets that come from people who's profile sets them near that place, but instead only for *tweets* marked as near that place. On Nov 19, 4:51 pm, Raffi Krikorian wrote: > As you may have see

I understand killing oauth_callback, but I would propose that you shouldn't kill the ability for the app to send info that will be returned to it upon redirecting. Is this possible? For example, you could simply pass oauth_callback back to the calling app even though you're not going to listen t

That's an interesting one. It's basically a federation question. It would definitely not be possible (AFAIK, and it'd be a terrible thing if it was) to use my OAuth tokens for some other service to authenticate to the Twitter API. Do those sites have well defined APIs? In theory the user of yo

I believe this flow is not secure (or not "as" secure) because that URL that is "transmitted" via the browser is permanently reusable by anyone to login to my service as that twitter user. In the authorization flow, I don't believe any such URL ever goes through the browser. So basically I think

If this is true, this is broken from a security perspective, IMHO. Basically it says that if anyone guesses an oauth_token, they can login to any site without having any idea who the user that maps to that token is.

I've wondered about a distributed version of this... If those of us who want to sift through the "entire" stream were to pool our API usage, in theory we could do it w/o knocking over twitter right? My particular usage is mining for geo content, either lat/lng or NLP based feature extraction.

Ok, I've dug into some basics of OAuth and also the code of Tweet#. After authorization, I'm armed with my user record and a map of it to an OAuth token (A) and secret (T1). Now, weeks later, the user returns to my site with no cookies (let's say). So I show them the Twitter signin button. They

I'm not sure you don't have the secret for it. I'm still trying to understand the tweet# code, but you were supposed to have saved the "new" secret for that token when you got the original request token right? Right now when trying to exchange that secondary oauth_token for an access token, twee

Sorry if this is a noob question, but how can we verify the screen_name of an OAuth token? It would seem that having it only out of band as a query arg means it's subject to spoofing right? Not sure how I build secure site login with the core identifier may not match the token I'm given.
