[twitter-dev] Getting any users home timeline
So the statuses/friends_timeline api call gives an authentated users and his friends statuses. Basically that authentacted users home page. Now is there any similar way to get any users home timeline. statuses/ user_timeline gives the statuses for any user specified by a userid. But it gives what is posted by them only. An e.g to clear things up User X is authenticated through API. the App makes a call and gets his home timeline using statuses/ friends_timeline . User X has a friend User Y. App can call statuses/user_timeline for user Y but that will return only User Ys statutes (which can also be got from statuses/friends_timeline earlier). What i want is an easy way so the the App can get User Y;s home time- line ( User Ys statuses as well User Y friends statuses). One can find User Ys friends and then call statuses/user_timeline for each of friend to get what i want. Seems to expensive in terms of api calls Any better way of doing this? i could not see the api supporting this directly. --dharmesh

[twitter-dev] Re: Throttling of filter stream
Zac, It's possible that the track filter is missing something, but there's probably other misunderstandings that are clouding things. I don't know how Tweespeed comes up with their numbers, but the Streaming API only makes available a proportion of all public statuses. Spam accounts, for example, are filtered out, as are protected accounts, direct messages, etc. etc. My guess is that Tweespeed is assuming that status_ids are assigned sequentially and they are just reporting the velocity of that column. Your estimate that 40% of tweets contain a link seems more than 2x too high. You can come up with a very accurate number by collecting a sampled feed for a few hours or days (there are diurnal and daily patterns to everything on Twitter) and dividing out. Even 10 minutes of the default sampled feed (the old "spritzer") will give you an idea. Without knowing your sample size, day of week, or time of day, I'd say that your reported matches per minute and limited statuses per minute are pretty good. I don't think you are missing much, if anything, other than the statuses reported by the limit message. As a double check, I just ran a quick test with the highest level of track and compared the result against the firehose. In a one minute sample, the track feed had matched the same tweets as the firehose piped to 'grep -i http'. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc On Sep 3, 7:23 pm, Zac Witte wrote: > I'm not sure the filter is actually catching everything that I'm > supposedly tracking.

Hi Zac, The filter streams are limited in the amount of data they will deliver.

Hi, I'm very amazed by the API.. but when using the OR operator I was hoping to see something like what Google does. for ex: If I'm searching 3 keywords with OR operator. Google will list items that has more keyword occurrences first. Twitter search will return results with one keyword occurrence.

[twitter-dev] Throttling of filter stream
I'm not sure the filter is actually catching everything that I'm supposedly tracking. There are ~20,000 tweets per minute right now according to tweespeed. I'm getting about 1000 tweets/m and skipping on average 1500 tweets/m according to the limit notifications. That means my filter is matching about 12.5% of all tweets, but I'm tracking "http" and supposedly 40% of all tweets contain a link so my filter would seem to be missing the majority of all links. Is this making sense?
[twitter-dev] Re: Is twitter a fad or worth development efforts?
You're asking the wrong folks. Most of the developers here do not have any real capital investment in their projects to speak of. Fewer still have a profit model. Is Twitter a Fad? The easy answer, yes. The long answer? Yes, but it needn't be... Unless Twitter makes a very real move to legitimize itself as a stable and growing (relevant) platform for end users, you will be better off focusing your capital on social media projects with more long term sustainability. Be aware, very few actual businesses have invested real dollars and labor into integration w/ Twitter (sales force, dell, whoot, et al) as opposed to the thousands who have adopted Facebook's API. The reason is not a matter of playing favorites, it's a matter of mitigating risk. Presently, Twitter is a fad. It's popularity and its current growth pattern is a result of novelty and a media bubble. However, Twitter has a very real chance to galvanize that momentum into a serious business (one that includes us third party developers), but it must move swiftly. Facebook is posturing to take over Twitter's market space. Not because it wants to obliterate Twitter as a competitor, but because they know what we know. The 'correct' social network exists somewhere between FB and Twitter. Both companies _should_ be racing towards that space. Whoever dominates it (and thusly deserves our investment) will be the one who a.) gets there first and b.) properly courts the developer community to enrich it. There are only two ways to convince real companies to invest real capital: 1.) Prove the users are there 2.) Guarantee a market Apple has shown us this model at scale. A rich developer community, incentivized by a Twitter regulated "app store," and a firm developer bill of rights will ensure Twitter stays relevant (and its users enjoy a rich experience) for a lot longer than it should. It also gets to 'grow up' into a real company and earn revenue from a reseller split (again, via Apple). -- Kevin Mesiab CEO, Mesiab Labs L.L.C. http://twitter.com/kmesiab http://mesiablabs.com http://retweet.com
