[twitter-dev] Re: 403 on statuses longer than 140 characters

[twitter-dev] Geolocation revisited
When geolocation was first introduced we launched an app that was a very simple mashup of Google maps and Twitter, enabling users to attach a location of their choosing - not necessarily their actual location - to a tweet. The much-discussed privacy concerns of geolocation were not relevant to this application, which we made first of all for our own use - to geotag new, location-specific content from our website. Anyway, it seemed at the time that only users tweeting from GPS-enabled phones had to worry about revealing their true location. The other day, when map pins and cute little maps began to appear with our tweets, we thought that was very cool indeed and we began thinking again about promoting this app. (Oddly, the geodata only shows when we are logged in - maybe that will change..?) In order for a user to geo-tweet using our app, they needed to have Enable geotagging checked in their settings. This has since been changed to Add a location to your tweets. On a support page dated 12 November 2009 (which I suspect has been updated more recently), Twitter states, Twitter won't show any location information unless you've opted-in to the feature, and have allowed your device or browser to transmit your coordinates to us, but the part about the device or browser does not seem to apply to to the use of third-party apps like ours. On the same page Twitter says that Tweet With Your Location is only available in the United States which again does not appear to apply to users of third party browser apps. (We are not in the US) We just need to know what we should tell our users. They need change their settings by checking the box by Tweet Location, but _not_ allow their browser to transmit their location, right? Then they can ignore the part about 'available in US only' and _not worry_ about accidently revealing their exact location? Can we promise them that?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Most popular tweets in the search API
Agreed - default sould be recentness, popularity - however it is defined -
and we could go into a long sidetrack on that which has nothing to do with
the api, apart from to just say that different people will have different
ideas of how to take the data that comes with a tweet and use ti to
calculate the tweet's popularity - should be something that we, the
developer community, insert following requests from our users, not something
one size fits all handed down from twitter.
I think twitter is fantastic, but sometimes they make a bad decision. This
is one of them.

Hi Developers!
The Search team is working on a beta project that returns the most
popular
tweets for a query, rather than only the most recent tweets. This is a
beta
project, but an important first step to surface the most popular tweets
for
users searching Twitter.
You can expect many improvements as we tune and tweak our algorithms,
but we
want to give everyone a heads up so we can go over the implications for
those consuming the search API.
--- New attribute in the payload ---
First of all there will be a new attribute in search result payloads.
Since
some tweets are popular for a given query while others are simply the
most
recent results that match the query, we are adding a metadata section
to
specify the type of result that a given result represents.
So for a popular tweet the result_type in the metadata section will
have
the value popular.
Example of a result with a popular tweet:
{
results:
[
{
profile_image_url:
http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/668144840/Elizabeth_Web_normal.jpg;,
created_at:Mon,15 Feb 2010 19:55:18 +,

geo:null,
iso_language_code:en,
source:lt;a href=quot;http://www.atebits.com/;
rel=quot;nofollowquot;gt;Tweetielt;/agt;,
metadata:
{
result_type: popular
}
}
/* etc ... */
}
Results that are not popular and represent simply recent query matches
will
have the result_type in the metadata section with a value of
recent.
Example of a recent result:
{
results:
[
{
profile_image_url:
http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/641350353/TimCheekFinger_normal.jpg;,

rel=quot;nofollowquot;gt;Tweetielt;/agt;,
metadata:
{
result_type: recent
}
},
/* etc ... */
}
--- Results with popular tweets aren't ordered chronologically ---
Until the popular tweet feature all search results have been sorted
chronologically, most recent results at the top. If a search query has
any
popular results, those will be returned at the top, even if they are
older
than the other results.
Example of a non-chronologically ordered set of results including
popular
results:

Hello, I am Craig Hughes, a Graphic Designer and Web Developer based in Wales (UK). I speak fluent Photoshop, Fireworks and Illustrator and build my web projects using PHP, jQuery, Javascript and a sprinkle of Spry for good measure. The Twitter platform was the first API I worked with to develop a web service. Back in March 2009, I built tweetzi, an augmented interface for searching Twitter that allowed users to 'play' or 'pause' the results stream. Working with Twitter search was a complete revelation as I realized how powerful and useful the information contained in millions of real-time tweets could be. http://tweetzi.com Expanding on tweetzi, I recently finished developing tweetzi LOCAL, a new type of classifieds service that uses localized Twitter data to provide ways for users to interact at a city level. The service provides a way for users to browse and post tweets across dozens of categories in a similar fashion to services such as Craigslist, Oodle and Gumtree. http://tweetzi.com/local I look forward to the new Twitter search developments (popular tweets) being rolled out.

Re: [twitter-dev] streaming api
Perhaps the 10.Seconds() and Take(100) functions are limiting your output?
It seems that this framework is perhaps not streaming, but assuming a finite
response size? I'd ask on the TweetSharp dev list.

[twitter-dev] Re: Skip the Return Values page after sending a tweet?
Sounds like you are just redirecting your users to the Twitter API URL in their browser, and they are seeing the API response. This is not right. You should use some Twitter API library to send the API request and receive the response within your application, and then display some feedback to your users yourself, depending on what result you got from the API.
