Re: Timeouts
Alex, is this issue fully resolved? Right now I cannot connect to twitter.com any more from certain hosts. It works from others. The host in question is api.twibble.de (80.83.114.92) which used to work fine over the last months. curl http://twitter.com curl: (7) couldn't connect to host Thanks, Thilo On Oct 28, 7:01 pm, Alex Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We're noticing highnetworklatency and timeouts on twitter.com today, which some of you are probably noticing in your apps.

Re: Timeouts
Yes, this issue was resolved. Additionally, we put a higher-capacity firewall in place since that network event.

Search UI and API suggestions
As a user, there are a couple of things I'd like to see in search (both the Advanced UI form and in the API): 1) The ability to search for replies to a given tweet ID. The use case for this is when someone asks a question like What's the best place to get T-shirts printed in small runs?. The only way to search for answers is by using the original poster's screen_name, which contains a lot of noise in the results. Specifying the original tweet's ID would be much more accurate (now that clients like Twitterrific are starting to set it when replies are posted.) 2) I'd like to do a search for @chockenberry that are not replies to me. Periodically, I do searches to see what people are saying about me. I'm not in interested in @chockenberry This a reply, I'm interested in Just saw @chockenberry and man is he tall. A vanity mode :-) Of course, both of these things could lead to some interesting features and applications, too. Thanks, as always, for listening. -ch

Re: Search UI and API suggestions
-to: not working is indeed a bug. I'm working on a fix right now. As for the searching for replies, that seems like a good feature to add. Until recently the reply_to_id was wrong too often, but with some recent API additions that should no longer be the case. Please file an issue at http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues and I'll see if we can get it into a future release.

Re: = 0
hey alex! The problem is that he happened to have post enabled. @vks comment out curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); or change it to curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0); that will fix your error :)

Data mining/firehose..
Hi Just wondering if there is any documentation on the DataMining API or when the availability of the FireHose API will happen? (not thinking anytime soon). I'm very interested in trying some experiments with a lot of twitter data and the DM API seems ideal, but apart from a description I cannot actually find where it is or how to use it. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks Ken
How do services such as TwitterLocal.net work?
After looking through the API documentation I don't see a way to obtain all twitter updates. The public timeline is the closest I can find and that only shows the last 20 updates and refreshes only once a minute. How do apps such as TwitterLocal.net work? They obviously have some type of data feed that allows them to store twitter updates and data locally so they can provide the querying engine they have. How is this possible?

Re: Data mining/firehose..
For what it's worth, we've actually been cranking on the firehose solution all week. We've evaluated several queueing systems, and I've just finished work on a proof-of-concept backup plan if those don't pan out. We'd really like to have a solution in place by Thanksgiving at the latest. 2008/11/6 tweetip [EMAIL PROTECTED]: email alex at twitter com -- Alex Payne - API Lead, Twitter, Inc. http://twitter.com/al3x
