Date Format: ex: "about 2 hours ago"

Retrieving user's timeline

Re: friends and followers

Providing different views on the same data reduces "cacheability" for us, so we don't plan on providing this feature. On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 18:34, Jorge Lugo wrote: > > The current api for retrieving a users friends and followers returns > full user information. For a follower/friend managemen

Creating feeds from individual Tweets instead of a user

Re: When was the server move happening?

Hi Max, That was actually in reference to the search API rather than the main API. The move has completed and we're working on our rate limiting code and capacity testing in the new facility. Thanks; — Matt Sanford / @mzsanford On Dec 22, 2008, at 06:34 AM, Max wrote: Hey group,

Hey group, About 4-6 weeks ago Alex mentioned a server move that would up the API/ IP limits for search and api calls. Couple of questions on that: -What would be the (rough) new limits? -When is this tentatively happening? Thanks! -Max
