Does anyone else see the friends_timeline not working as expected?
I have 5 tweets total (toucancrm) , 3 of which are replies.
When I go to my home page on the web, I only see the non-replies, and the
latest post (3 tweets).
When I use the API to retrieve friends_timeline, I only get 2 tweets,
The consumer key and consumer secret are required to open the
conversation with Twitter. How can this be handled with a desktop app
unless the app talks to a web proxy? You wouldn't embed the key/
secret in the code (especially if it's open source).

For an end user, OAuth is generally speaking much friendlier for pretty much
every application type, iPhone, desktop, or web. The only applications that
might possibly have a usability barrier (and as I said before, a quite
slight one if you just make your own workaround as I just suggested) are

You could modify your linked example by changing
$twitter_username ='yourTwitterUserName';
$twitter_psw ='yourTwitterPassword';
to:
$twitter_username =$_POST["username"];
$twitter_psw =$_POST["password"];
and adding a 'username' textbox and a 'password' textbox in the tweet form

Those are all technical issues. I'm talking about usability issues for
non-technical users. However, none of what I'd have to say is
different than what I've already said on the topic, and I'm sure
things will work out fine in time.

Hi,
I am trying to find info about creating a submission box similar to

Hi Gustavo,
The If-Modified-Since is a http header not a url parameter. You want
to user the 'since' parameter...
string url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/replies.xml?since="; +
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("True, 09 Feb 2009 14:00:00 GMT")
Also your http formatted date is wrong.

That's not really the way Twitter works. Generally, you update your
own account and people follow you. You post once, multiple people
read. That's how messages on Twitter spread to more than one person.

Twitter doesn't currently have the concept of groups - just users
following other users.

Whether they did or didn't change it, the one that the twitter API is
returning is the one that doesn't work. If they changed it, you would
think that the one returned by the API would be the correct one, and
perhaps the one accessed through the twitter web site might get
cached.

If you are just looking for keeping track of the number of tweets, and
not concerned about keeping them around for later data processing, you
