hi dewald.
we obviously feel that users want the most relevant tweets first (the
use of popular is unfortunate here). and the web interface of search.twitter.com
has begun an evolution in that direction.
it's still unclear what Twitter is going to do with the API (hence the
silence),
But raffi why do you have to break the old to offer the new?
Basically I've just updated MyPostButler to work again after your last
unannounced changed the Thursday evening before a holiday break only to
open my email this morning and see you are going to modify search api
yet again in some
I think twitter forget that API developers are there customers as well, not end
users.
At the end of the day if this make my app unviable then you'll lose this
development community as a developer and pretty improbable to ever get us back.
I've never funded another application on the Adobe
Doesn't this always happen? Paths diverge (usually around money but
sometimes around principle) and then it gives rise to something new?

Ha ha, love it.
I feel sorry for other developers, for me personally I can walk away from my
app at anytime as I see fit because I'm not reliant on any single project.

Raffi,
Tweet id is a no-brainer. We understand that an linear incrementing
number does not scale because at some point it must cycle back to 1.
Search is a different animal.
When I do a Twitter search, I expect your system to tell me what
If you have no interest in seeing old tweets then pass the parameter that
indicates that you want to strictly see the most recent tweets (the legacy
behavior). You get what you want and those who are interested in more signal

We obviously feel that users want the most relevant tweets first.
Has this been determined and confirmed with user focus groups, or is
this just an opinion that originated somewhere in a Twitter office or
meeting room?
twitter does run user studies. yes.

Hey everyone,
My job title doesn't matter much. I do what I can and what needs to be done,
whether that's being a contributing programmer on upcoming platform
features, thoroughly testing an API before launch, analyzing implementations
for spec compliance, communicating to and with the developer
Taylor,
Your job title very much does matter. Any respectable public/open
API publisher needs to be concerned with the needs, wants and feelings
of their developer community. If you are part of Twitter's effort to
address this concern, then you need to be doing certain things. If you
are not,

these are two pretty big issues (tweet IDs and popular tweets in search).
and the silence has been because we're working really hard behind the scenes
to make sure we, ourselves, have weighed all the options on the axes i laid
out, and we
