I have been informed by some users that some searches for hashtags are returning 0 results, while searching for the term *without* the hashtag works fine: example: #laundryalternative http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23laundryalternative 0 results. laundryalternative

Well, as much as I love Twitter, it's not on Google's infrastructure. Speaking of which, Jaiku has gone open source and supports XMPP: http://code.google.com/p/jaikuengine/ http://code.google.com/p/jaikuengine/source/browse/trunk/doc/design_funument.txt Twitter Team: maybe there's something to

Has Jaiku gone XMPP yet? We're having a discussion about jaiku on the GAE list now. I believe XMPP is almost-but-not-quite-ready? They're involved in a pubsubhub project on GAE to make it happen, if I paid enough attention to that convo. On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 5:59 AM, Adrian

Hi, There is a rate limit for the Search API but it is higher than 100 requests per second imposed by the REST API. The limiting is performed by the IP address. The default limit is high enough that most applications shouldn't be affected. As the search architecture has no notion of accounts, it

Hi all, I am in the process of designing a new twitter app. The app needs to make twitter api calls on behalf of the users and queries the user for his/her twitter credentials and stores them such that they can be used subsequently for making twitter api calls. I plan on storing them in the DB

2009-03-14 Thread Einar
I'm currently working on a c++ wrapper for the twitter API. Everything works smooth except uploading images. Both profile images and background images. The image I use is a png which already has been used as an Twitter avatar. So the response about a big image does not seem very likely. I send a

FWIW, I've had trouble uploading a profile picture using the web interface itself (it seems to accept it, but then doesn't show it). It hardly seems like the most robust feature. Normally I just keep trying and waiting a few minutes to see if it actually went through.
