Looking at the timeline API calls, all seem to return much redundant

Is this correct? Seems like a lot of extra data to send across the
wire. I was looking at the search
Hi,
Well, my experience of using a web browser in VB.Net is that you have
to keep to the same browser and cannot mix a HTTPWebRequest with a
WebBrowser1 object!
What I tried was getting the pin number via a web browser object, then
sending that back via a HTTPWebRequest class. It failed

Hello,
We are in the process of developing a website that uses the Twitter
API.
I understand that the Twitter API is capable of retrieving a user's
profile photo via:

Other websites that are using the Twitter API are,
If I use REST, then I am not sure how I would do this other than paging
through the users timeline, which would take a long time.
Bingo. But, keep in mind you can only page back 3000 tweets (unless
things have changed...), so you might not be able to get the first
tweet afterall.

Hi there,
I want to know what should I do after I've finished a new application.
When Twitter will verify it and how Twitter users can hear about it ?
My new application is http://www.story-tweet.com/

This is really an excellent question.
If we're developing an open-source Twitter client, how are we supposed
to handle the consumer_key and consumer_key_secret?

You can cache the user's profile data so API lookups are kept to a

Hi there,
The refresh=true is something used by out web UI and it is not
supported in the API. It's really just a short cut for a few
calculations to make the Javascript on the page a bit shorter. It can
only deal with results within the past few minutes so it's not very

Obrzut,
You don't need a webbrowser object in your VB application to
accomplish this. You can have your application open a web browser in
a new window. That's how I'm doing it in my Twitter client. Here's
an example:

Is RT an official Twitter funtion or a community invented convention?
If I have a timeline loaded what is the best way to determine the

I'd be interested in what everybody's thoughts on this are.
Has Twitter ever shared their logic for locating @usernames and hash
tags?

The above regex seems logical but I can see faults. It will pick up
the trailing domain in an email address.
I could look for a whitespace in front, or nothing in front and do
better.

Retweet is not a top level feature for Twitter. People have suggestions for

For usernames, you could add the word boundary special character
(sometimes dependent on your programming language)
\b@([A-Za-z0-9_]+)
which should avoid email addresses.
For hashtags I use a similar one:

I don't think #foo/bar is a valid hashtag, so I don't account for

Is there a way using the Twitter API to subscribe to a user and
download their tweets using a web server whenever they update?
I will look it over when I have a larger screen than a phone. I am
guessing English is not your native language?
I would start with getting someone to help you with the grammer on the
first page and a few other pages.
If you would like help in that area, more than happy to lend a hand.
Very interesting results. I, too, had the pleasure of watching
someone (in the same demographic) sign-up and use twitter for the
first time. It was almost excruciatingly painful to witness. She, at

tweeted from a school trip.

In order to have from source show up with an OAuth application, you
need to post an update to

How you go about doing that is up to you, but I think the libraries

This is certainly doable. Your application would need to sign into
