Hi all!
I'm writing a twitter-widgets that is based on data formated as JSON.
I get the data from

webserver i get negative ids.

However, if you paste in a link that is less than 30 characters,
we'll post it in its entirety. If it's longer than 30 characters,
we'll convert it to a shorter URL.

Well, it doesn't look like you ever give the user's password to the

Yes, it's a bit of a pain right now. Long term, we intend on providing
methods in the REST API that you can call from another process, while
connected to the Streaming API. Those methods will allow you to add and
remove user IDs from the list of users you're getting streaming updates
