[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet threading
I was wondering how you get over the API limit doing this, I would imagine you would hit it almost straight away (10 statuses with 10 replies would do it) as every reply will require a recursive status request for every parent status?

[twitter-dev] Followers Count doesn't add up with the actual followers
Hi all, I am new with Twitter API Dev, so apologise if my question seems silly. I have a user that has followers_count = 6000+ But when I try to collect the user data of those followers by paging through the statuses/followers API, at the end of the pages (where no more items are returned back), I get only about 5800-ish users. Where are the other 200 go ? Am I missing something here ? Thanks for your help, Chris
[twitter-dev] Re: daily follow/unfollow/update limit
I have noticed the same thing, and there is no predictable pattern to it. The API kicks back the limit exceeded message on numbers far below 1,000. The same goes for DMs. I've seen a person being limited after 200 DMs have been sent.

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet threading
We do the same at Twitterfall - recursive calls from parent to parent until there is no more. Check out http://twitterfall.com (find something that is a proper reply first). An icon appears between the two user names when it thinks there is a conversation. Sometimes it fails because it is doing a check for tweets starting with '@someone' too (because IIRC search results do not return the tweet ID the tweet is replying to) for popular trends, as our backend sends out limited tweet data.

Anyone have pointers for how to do this, based on the current twitter API, and whatever bugs have been uncovered, perhaps with workarounds?

Having a hard time wrapping my head around what the limitations of threading are. Any suggestions on how to better understand this would be most appreciated. Ideally, what I am looking for, is to take any tweet, determine what other replies there are to it, and get back to the parent, displaying all children.

Doug, I think this is very similar to the email I sent in to a...@twitter.com.

[twitter-dev] API calls to handle accepting follow requests?
Hello, Are their API calls to allow one to not have to use the web site to Follow individuals? What I mean is is it possible to get a listing of follow requests like on the web site and then through the API accept those requests? Jeff

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet threading
What is the getMentions method? I did not see that in the twitter API. I suspect this is a framework you are referring to? Or are you talking about this: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-mentions?SearchFor=mentionssp=1 That seems inaccurate though, would it not be better to start with the in_reply_to_status_id fields?

Actually, I think that might be specific to VB.NET and I just read you're using 6. I think that you can use the GetSystemTime API call[1] to do the same thing in VB6.
