Perhaps it may be possible to have some kind of community agreement on a don't Tweet meta-character. Obviously this would be usless for bots that didn't follow the request but would be a start. On Mar 29, 11:23 pm, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, Wondering what everyone's

Chad, As per our collective observations, I'm going to start better moderating posts from new users. This includes heading off basic requests for information that is already widely available before it goes public. I will work to point users to posts, the FAQ, offering answers, etc... and avoid

Peter, You are indeed correct, and the post has deviated. Chad, the only answer to your initial request is to connect with respected developers off list ( twitter.com is a good choice) and ask for their opinion. The open nature of the list, and syndication feeds, promote collaboration. The classic

The way I see it now (or at least in the recent past), this board has been mainly used for asking how to get a source parameter, basic how-to-get-started type questions, and reporting twitter service outages or glitches that the twitter team are probably already painfully aware of.  I know

I don't think anyone is suggesting the documentation become closed, by any means. I think there is simply a desire to reduce the noise and exposure on the developer channel. And there's no reason in the world to expose this list to people who aren't making API calls -- period! On Tue, Mar 31,

Doug, This forum is the appropriate place to bring up questions about the API, regardless if you have an application in development. Therefore, please don't feel like you cannot speak up just because you don't have code you can show off. Chances are if you have a question, so do other developers.
