Followers tweeting nonsense or just tweeting sentences that just don't quite fit with reality is exactly what I'm hoping to identify. It's easy enough to find a known spammer and block them, but my hope is to identify a spam account before they ever actually send any links. There are certainly

Bit more on this one, I am using include_entities set to true and getting the junk results. If I turn it off I get the correct results but I need the entities. Cheers On Apr 9, 3:34 pm, Ninjamonk dar...@stuartmedia.co.uk wrote: Before I post this as an issue is anyone else getting this problem.

[twitter-dev] connection by Seesmic/Instagram iPhone Apps ?

2011-04-09 Thread ジェローム

Thank you for the answer, that's what I understood (Instagram quotes xauth under their formulars actually). The thing is I built an OAuth provider for a service (based on the oauth-php library) it works well for our websites on PC/iphone and keitai (japanese handset) and we are now wanting to

Hello other Twitter Developers. The other day I had an idea for a little service to monitor trolls. So some code was punched out to monitor a hash tag and the #TrollWatcher service was born. How it works is someone tags (#TrollWatcher) to a tweet and then a system check twitter and then adds any

I can confirm that this happens whether the lookup is by screen_name or id. Incidentally, any progress on Twitter's side? Way over a month now, and it only seems to be getting worse. Cheers, Adrian On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 1:18 AM, Nischal Shetty nischalshett...@gmail.comwrote: Anything on

Wow, this is great data, finding all kinds of stuff. These types of spammers I think are going to be really easy to find with my approach. I'm going to have to tweak my knowledge base a bit but that's ok, I think that this is actually going to work. Thanks! On Apr 9, 12:30 pm, Jerome Hughes
