I've been looking around for information on how the new promoted
tweets advertising feature will affect the API, and I've not really
found anything. I gather that it's a two phase approach starting with
search and then rolling out to timelines, but can anyone here
clarify:

Have to admit it is kinda scary to develop for twitter, but maybe when
more plans are released we'll understand twitter's plan a bit better.
I don't begrudge Tweetie for being acquired, good for them, i'm sure
it was a nice deal for them. It's a very narrow tightrope twitter
walks though with
NO but twitter does shut down perfectly good apps all the time... it's
very frustrating.

I'm curious about this myself. One of the first things end users are
going to ask for is a way to block these ads from their timelines.
Don't kid yourself; there's a reason why AdBlock is such a popular

as we move forward, as always, we'll message out to the developer list as
features get deployed onto the platform / API.

Is promotion of tweets going to be part of the algorithm for defining
popular tweets - in a twisted world where twitter says it's popular coz
they've taken the cash to say it's popular? [sorry, that sounds like rigging
charts or something... not quite how I meant it to sound]

Raffi Krikorian replied to my question about pass-through parameters
in the callback URL:
i don't think this is possible in oauth 1.0a. i know oauth 2.0 has a
state parameter (don't quote me on the name) that will allow clients
to pass an opaque string to the server who will then pass it back.

Don't be too hasty with that ad blocking code.
1) It sounds as if Twitter will share ad revenue with external apps.
2) It very well might be against (new) API TOS to use the API and
block ads (I would do that if I were them).

should not concentrate effort. For example, there are things that

Hi George,
xAuth does accept email addresses. Your POST body by definition needs to be
URL-escaped, and when you generate your signature base string that means
that you'll be URL encoding those URL-encoded values again.
