Would be good if Twitter.com used API to determine, e.g., DM count on
right-side. Right now it is woefully wrong if we delete DMs via API.

I think the important part here is "in some places". The problem is,
twitter.com probably has 75% or more of the exposure. The lowly app
developer hits a bug in the API, and people say "wtf, works on
twitter.com, this app sucks".
Good to know that facebook and the mobile site are using

Hmmm so was does twitter.com work when the API is down.?
How long exactly do you think twitter.com has been using the api for?

The main twitter.com site already uses the API in some places. Our
revised mobile site is built entirely on the API, and our Facebook
application has been built off our API for some time.
Dogfooding! We support it.

I emphatically second and support the idea of twitter.com having to use
the API.
We had similar quality problems at a place I formerly worked, and they
were solved, completely, when such a policy was instituted.
Yeah, it puts pressure on the API team and may inconvenience the UI
team, or whateve
Probably too late for this, but perhaps moving forward, it could be
done...
Twitter.com should move to using their own API. The tools they use to
power their own site should be the same tools we use and rely on.
In all reality, this seems a simpler approach, rather than pushing out
code
Then maybe mark it in the docs as "highly experimental", this way,
people do not build their business plans around something. Make it
clear, this feature could go away at any time.

You guys had a bug acknowledgement back in August (13-15) but you've
removed it. The widget still malfunctions. I just downloaded it.
Will you be fixing it? Suggest you remove the widget entirely if
not. It's frustrating for developers to download software that
doesn't work.

I have not looked at this so this is mostly curiosity.
Why use md5 on a moving target? Who knows when someone may resave an

I bet 1% compression savings translates to thousands of dollars over
short time.
Isn't the path relatively static?

Twitter has made their intentions clear about Basic Auth: They want it
to go away. By restricting the "source" parameter to OAuth requests,
they give developers an incentive to move forward.
