Is updating the location field with geocodes worthwhile?

2009-01-09 Thread Peter Maurer
Hi list, a lot of mobile Twitter clients add the device's current geocode to the user's location, which results in location values like this one, for instance: iPhone: 40.757929,-73.985506 Now, I'm tempted to do the same thing in the client I'm working on, but I'm wondering if doing it this

Hi Peter, The search system (are those air quotes?) does not do any parsing for lat/lon. Having said that nearly all geocoding services recognize the lat,lon format. Like google for example: http://bit.ly/gmap_lat_lon . I'm not sure if the prefix will cause any problems or not. If this

Hi Barry, If an account has been suspended we try not to return it either on the web or from the API. However, sometimes our caches still contain a pointer to the account so we do a last-minute check at request time and remove those users. This is also the case with deleted statuses,

Require API Source

2009-01-09 Thread Daniel Sims
Twitter should not set web as the source of tweets coming from the API. To avoid viral scams (like the recent Twply) users should be able to tell if a friend's tweet came from twitter.com or not. I suggest that Twitter always use the given source name or make api the default instead of web.
