[twitter-dev] Getting error The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.twitter.com' while twitting data from my website
Hi.
I am using Twitterizer Aouth API.
Below is the code which I am using to connect to twitter from my website.
stringconsumerKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[consumerKey];
string consumerSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[consumerSecret];
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString[oauth_token] ==
null)
{
RequestToken = OAuthUtility.GetRequestToken(consumerKey, consumerSecret,
_currentURL);
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(script
language=\javascript\
type=\text/javascript\window.open('http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=+
RequestToken.Token +
','_new','height=500,width=850,status=yes,resizable=yes');window.location.href=window.location.href;/script
);
}
Some times I get The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.twitter.com'
exception when my website tries to connect to twitter using above code.
Can some one please help me in this?
Thanks,
Richard

Re: [twitter-dev] inconsistent data when fetching the stream using location boxes
thanks matt I didn't think of verifying the source straight from the json api, you're perfectly right, this is super helpful. and it appears that twitter4j has some funny behaviour, as I'm reading the geo location directly from the API when I receive an onStatus notification, hence something like status.geoLocation() I will need to dig in the code to understand what's happening, I'll come back to you as soon as I have answers many thanks again, have a good day thomas -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
Re: [twitter-dev] inconsistent data when fetching the stream using location boxes
hey man,
thanks for this reply! yup, of corse I can.
so, I am using twitter4j and reading the stream with the streaming API
implementation (loosely following the code snippet below). I have setup a
filter query with a list of location boxes, being the following 3
(barcelona, manchester, london):
- [barcelona] 1.48, 41.10, 2.34, 41.4,
- [london] -0.30, 51.10, 0.21, 51.45,
- [manchester] -2.18, 53.25, -2.09, 53.31
then retrieving the status' location through the Status.getGeoLocation()
function
(http://twitter4j.org/en/javadoc/twitter4j/Status.html#getGeoLocation%28%29)
now, it happen (quite frequently, but I don't have a statistic... say 1 post
out of 50) that I find the geo location being with coordinates out of the
boxes, such as:
37.1289787 -84.0832596 (tweet id: 83428963950669824 - reverse geocode using
google maps: london, kentucky)
10.103 -64.669 (tweet id: 83428616981061633 - reverse geocode using
google maps: barcelona, venezuela)
so I am wondering how it can happen, provided that I am giving numerical
coordinates for location boxes...
hope this is clearer, many thanks
thomas
fetch stream:
StatusListener listener = new StatusListener(){
public void onStatus(Status status) {
// get geoLocation and save to db
}
};
TwitterStream twitterStream = new TwitterStreamFactory(listener).getInstance();
twitterStream.filter( myFilterQuery );

[twitter-dev] inconsistent data when fetching the stream using location boxes
hi all I am developing a data mining application for telecom italia (the biggest tlc company in italy) and we're still refining the algorithms using a spritzer account. in order to maximize the streams around a few interesting locations (uk, spain, france, italy), our setup is using location boxes, as detailed here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#locations but something weird happens: we are receiving status updates out of the specified location boxes (fair enough...) from places that have the same names as others inside our location boxes. e.g. our box coordinates focused on UK obviously do not include US, but we are receiving tweets from 37.1289787 -84.0832596 (namely: london, KY) is there some reverse geo-coding going on? many thanks thomas -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk

[twitter-dev] Sitebucket: Python based, threaded Site Stream monitor
Hi everyone, I've been working on a Python based, threaded site stream monitor that follows the requirements defined at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/site_streams. It's called Sitebucket and it's available on Github: https://github.com/thomasw/sitebucket If you have beta access to the site streams endpoint, you should check it out. I think you'll like it. I've been using Sitebucket in combination with some asynchronous processing magic in production for http://hootcourse.com going on about two months now. It's been working out really well, so I figured it was finally time to share. You can find Sitebucket's full documentation here: http://thomasw.github.com/sitebucket/ Admittedly, she still needs a bit of work. There's a high level to do list at http://thomasw.github.com/sitebucket/todo.html if anyone wants to dive in and help out!

[twitter-dev] users/lookup returns duplicates, missing records for valid users
When using users/lookup with 100 random screen_names, I often get duplicate records, as well as missing records for valid users that are not deleted, suspended, or non-existent. Ive tested this with python-twitter as well as twurl. The responses I receive are non-deterministic; different users are omitted each time. Roughly 10% of all the users I request are omitted, this from a sample of 10,000 requests to users/lookup over distinct groups of 100 users. *Sample query with 100 random users (grabbed from public timeline): * twurl /1/users/lookup.json?screen_name= _cameraobscura,aboutmoneytips,aliceee_tw ,alltinomit,allysonfly,andy_marin,annadobak,aquarenasw,ardysmc,asd_tscmom,asyaetc,ayranlc,azianperc,bagelcc,bernah515, betinhots ,bichhu_10,billexd,bodyplus1,bruno_ral,buckley_l,buena_san,bunchukav,bunga_csv,c_loste,cansuneverson,canyalady,carolinefassl,ceedeezy,cernoblog,chairs4church,chakal_guitar,choice355,clubbanga,congelob,cr8cornucopia,crcon1863,creceitas,ctrl_news,cynsaurus,dancewithlola,danielbegun, demandplanner ,dennisboutkan,deyavoltolini,dharple,domeque,dptodecompras,era_donations,expertwitless,famousgang_31,folhadocariri,freebitchin,heywoodxjablomi,hifos, ihavetrunutz ,ikuke7,imar87,inmagv,jamilaelhasni,jplmoreira,jzyblu,katsunumaren767,kittoariobasara,kokohorewasshoi,laayanrc,ladylooc,lailavogelezang,mamibluemovie,manuzunino,marcelstuij,marco_paredes,mariel1820,marilimabio,misterplan,nslupski,pastormic,porterpet,rhizis,sabesa1,sai0531,scoopervin22,scwauters,sergio_ee,sethrynstorm,severoski,shaunatpayne,shikshin_ira,shima_online,shinnosukepass,sjsnsdaddict,smithsupport,ssa_prentiss,stayfrostyse,suellany_hta,sugarpop_bdg,taisinhamartins,tamayamasachiko,xsievert,yaragharib *Records I received a response for (after lowering, sorting):* _cameraobscura, aboutmoneytips, alltinomit, allysonfly, andy_marin, annadobak, aquarenasw, ardysmc, asd_tscmom, asyaetc, ayranlc, azianperc, bagelcc, bernah515, bichhu_10, billexd, bodyplus1, bruno_ral, buckley_l, buena_san, bunchukav, bunga_csv, c_loste, cansuneverson, canyalady, carolinefassl, ceedeezy, cernoblog, chairs4church, chakal_guitar, choice355, clubbanga, congelob, cr8cornucopia, crcon1863, creceitas, ctrl_news, cynsaurus, dancewithlola, danielbegun, dennisboutkan, deyavoltolini, dharple, domeque, dptodecompras, era_donations, expertwitless, famousgang_31, folhadocariri, freebitchin, heywoodxjablomi, hifos, ikuke7, imar87, inmagv, jamilaelhasni, jplmoreira, jzyblu, katsunumaren767, kittoariobasara, kokohorewasshoi, laayanrc, ladylooc, lailavogelezang, mamibluemovie, manuzunino, manuzunino, marcelstuij, marco_paredes, mariel1820, marilimabio, marilimabio, misterplan, nslupski, pastormic, porterpet, rhizis, sabesa1, sai0531, sai0531, scoopervin22, scwauters, sergio_ee, sethrynstorm, severoski, shaunatpayne, shikshin_ira, shima_online, shinnosukepass, sjsnsdaddict, smithsupport, ssa_prentiss, stayfrostyse, suellany_hta, sugarpop_bdg, taisinhamartins, tamayamasachiko, xsievert, yaragharib, yaragharib (1) There are missing records for aliceee_tw (valid user), betinhots (valid), demandplanner (valid), ihavetrunutz (valid) (2) There are duplicate recordsfor manuzunino, sai0531, marilimabio, yaragharib, bringing the total back up to 100 responses (3) While not in this example, suspended/non-existent members are correctly removed from results -- K -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: User Streaming API and use of OAuth from web browser
xAuth is actually for exchanging usernames and passwords for OAuth keys. In the end, all of your requests are still using OAuth. More about xAuth: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth Jonathon Hill wrote: Have you looked at xAuth? It was designed for desktop clients but it may work well with Javascript clients. Jonathon Hill On Oct 6, 4:54 pm, Tim Bulltim.b...@binaryplex.com wrote: Hi, We are building an application client that is browser based. We're very comfortable with using OAuth from our server side code and are using it fine with the REST API (users sign in, authenticate with Twitter, we store their access tokens and reuse as requested - at the moment we mimic the required Twitter API on our server and when a user does something like a POST, we call our stub, use their token to then make the call via OAuth to Twitter). So far so good, but we'd like to implement User Streaming directly into the client side application. I've been browsing the Twitter Development documentation and there's a couple of points I'd like clarification on: *http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overviewsays Streaming supports Basic and OAuth. *http://dev.twitter.com/pages/user_streamssays that the user streams supports OAuth only HTTPS, OAuth and JSON only. No problems here, I just raise it to point out the auth_overview doco is slightly out of date. *http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_librariestalks about a JS library but says Javascript really shouldn't be used for OAuth 1.0A with respect to websites in web browsers. Ideally, you'll only use Javascript to perform OAuth operations when using server-side. The points I'd like some clarification on: 1. Given user_streams API is the intended way for clients to access Twitter going forwards, I presume it's intended not just for desktop, but also web clients too? 2. If 1 is correct, then is it OK to use JavaScript for the OAuth? If it's not, what is the recommended approach for a client side web application to connect and authenticate to the user_stream?

Re: [twitter-dev] Use twitterapi.update method to my own account via .net web app without human intervention
You should save the oauth access key/secret you get for the account you want to post to (if it's your application's account, you can get the access keys from the application's page on dev.twitter.com). You can then use your client key/secret and user access key/secret to make calls to the API on that user's behalf without them logging into an actual session of your application. This page is a good overview of OAuth: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth bob wrote: I have an application that maintains sport fields playing status.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How to test for one user following another
I apologize, I was actually saying that you should specify both the source and the target. It was my understanding you needed both, but it looks like when you make an authenticated request (like you do with twurl), you can specify just the target. With that said, I was able to use twurl and specify only the target and get it to work: twurl /friendships/show.xml?target_screen_name=Alternate1985 This used my authenticated user, @tsmango, as the source and gave me the proper response. Is that what your twurl call looked like? Also, if you don't quote the query, you'll have problems with multiple parameters: This one works: twurl /friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermettetarget_screen_name=Alternate1985 But this one fails with the error you were receiving: twurl /friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermettetarget_screen_name=Alternate1985 Hope that helps and sorry again for the confusion about needed to specify the source.

Re: [twitter-dev] ways to authorize users other then oAuth and xAuth?
OAuth will work fine for this. Once a user authorizes your application, you store their access key/secret. Using your client's key/secret and the user's key/secret, you can sign a request to Twitter on behalf of that user. Twitter's OAuth documentation: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth sir pelidor wrote: Greeting, I have an app that needs to update its' member's twitter status as well as status for other social-network sites in a scheduled manner. For which I found it very difficult to implement it using oAuth or xAuth, therefore I seek for advise from fellow developers. Detail of the workflow: -End users sign up my service, and will be given to opportunity to store their twitter's access credentials. -End users update status at my service and schedule when it will be deliver -End users are limited to update their status once every 6 days. -To avoid spams, If the end user do not renewal their status after it has been sent by my service, it will not schedule for the next delivery (it does not allow end users to sent the same tweet as the previous one) -In a daily basis, the scheduler of my service will query each members in the system who are qualified to deliver tweet in that given day. Then it will mass update all qualifier's twitter status. Due to how my scheduler works in the background, I believe oAuth or xAuth may not be a proper solution to my problem. Since Twitter API no longer support Basic Auth, what other manners can I utilize so I can send tweet on behave of my members?

Re: [twitter-dev] Ultimately send my twitter followers direct messages from my application
I think what you described is exactly right. You're looking for an app that users can authorize with using OAuth. Once they're redirected back to your site (part of the OAuth process), you can create a user account for them locally and ask them to follow your Twitter account. Because they've authorized your application, when they agree to follow you, you can use the /friendships/create API method on their behalf.

Yes, there's a limit of 250 direct messages per day according to: http://support.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364 I'm not sure if there are any policies against automatically direct messaging someone when they follow you, but a 250/day would certainly prevent that at some point.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets
I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you retweeted. I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a retweet if you would have seen it already in your timeline. This stops you from seeing the latest popular tweet retweeted 100 times from each of your followers if you follow the person who originally tweeted it. However, I guess it also stops you seeing that you have retweeted a tweet, as theoretically you've already seen it. I think I've made that more complicated than it actually is... The only thing that you can do is to get the Home Timeline and then merge retweets_of_me in over the top. Tom On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 4:03 PM, luisg luisfmgoncal...@gmail.com wrote: Can somebody help?

All authenticated requests will be moving to OAuth (either version 1.0a or the emerging 2.0 spec). There are many benefits from this change. Aside from the obvious security improvements, having all requests be signed with OAuth gives us far better visibility into our traffic and allows us many more tools for controlling and limiting abuse. When we know and trust the origin of our traffic we can loosen the reigns a lot and trust by default. We've already made a move in this direction by automatically increasing rate limits for requests signed with OAuth made to the new versioned http://api.twitter.comapi.twitter.com host. One of the often cited virtues of the Twitter API is its simplicity. All you have to do to poke around at the API is curl, for example, http://api.twitter.com/1/users/noradio.xml http://api.twitter.com/1/users/noradio.xml and you're off and running. When you require that OAuth be added to the mix, you risk losing the simplicity and low barrier to entry that curl affords you. We want to preserve this simplicity. So we've provided two tools to let you poke around at the API without having to fuss with all the extraneous details of OAuth. For those who want the ease of the web, we've already included an API console in our new developer portal at http://dev.twitter.com/console http://dev.twitter.com/console. And now today we're glad to make available the Twurl command line utility as open source software: http://github.com/marcel/twurlhttp://github.com/marcel/twurl If you already have RubyGems ( http://rubygems.org/http://rubygems.org/), you can install it with the gem command: sudo gem i twurl --source http://rubygems.orghttp://rubygems.org If you don't have RubyGems but you have Rake (http://rake.rubyforge.org/ http://rake.rubyforge.org/), you can install it from source. Check out the INSTALL file ( http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/INSTALL http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/INSTALL). Once you've got it installed, start off by checking out the README (http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/README http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/README) (you can always get the README by running 'twurl -T'): +---+ | Twurl | +---+ Twurl is like curl, but tailored specifically for the Twitter API. It knows how to grant an access token to a client application for a specified user and then sign all requests with that access token. It also provides other development and debugging conveniences such as defining aliases for common requests, as well as support for multiple access tokens to easily switch between different client applications and Twitter accounts. +-+ | Getting Started | +-+ The first thing you have to do is register an OAuth application to get a consumer key and secret. http://dev.twitter.com/apps/newhttp://dev.twitter.com/apps/new When you have your consumer key and its secret you authorize your Twitter account to make API requests with your consumer key and secret. % twurl authorize --consumer-key the_key \ --consumer-secret the_secret This will return an URL that you should open up in your browser. Authenticate to Twitter, and then enter the returned PIN back into the terminal. Assuming all that works well, you will beauthorized to make requests with the API. Twurl will tell you as much. If your consumer application has xAuth enabled, then you can use a variant of the above % twurl authorize -u username -p password \ --consumer-key the_key \

Re: [twitter-dev] complete Retweet functionality in thirdparty apps
Abraham, Are there any plans to make this any easier for developers to implement retweets-of-me in the short term? The best solution (for client devs) would obviously be a stream of the latest retweets, with the full original status object inline, but as it looks like this isn't going to happen, any chance of at least adding a retweet_count or last_retweeted_id node to the retweets_of_me statuses? That way we'd be able to intelligently use statuses/retweets for only the tweets which have new retweets, rather than burning through API requests checking multiple tweets every time. This has become a bit more of an issue as it appears that new style retweets have stopped appearing in search results, so users can't even workaround this by using a search for their username.

In web interface that tweet will appear in both Retweets By Others and Retweets By Me tabs and you will be given an option to undo the retweet in both tabs. But you cannot do the same with the API There is no way a user can find his retweeted entry in Retweets By Others directly (with one call) To fix this either 1) we should check the original retweet ids in both Retweets By Others and Retweets by Me (i.e make 2 calls). Not only is this resource/time consuming but it is highly unreliable. Some times Retweets by Me entries may not overlap with the entries from Retweets By Others due to the data size limit (200) Or 2)Twitter should add some flag like retweeted_by_me to the pay load for Retweets By Others which is really helpful This bug has been left untouched for a long time. @Tim Haines Theres already a bug filedfor that( num of ppl who RTed a tweet).API currently shows 20 but the doc says 100.

Re: [twitter-dev] How can we change source name?
The ability to specify source parameters through basic auth has been deprecated, and is only allowed for apps that used this before deprecation. You'll need to move to using oAuth for authentication, then you can specify the application source on your application page on Twitter.com Tom On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 9:42 AM, kosmo76 iiiso...@gmail.com wrote: In the code of curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, status=messagesource=CoTweet); using /statuses/update.xml as php curl, if we input CoTweet or Seesmic into the code, a value is entered to the source.

Re: [twitter-dev] http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml Improper order

These screen names are stored by the system. I am maintaining the last stored screen name, so that it can be used as offset from which new screen names can be listed.For ex: today I stored 250 screen names, after 10 days 50 more friends are added, by using the offset I end up storing the newly added 50 screen names only. The problem is that statuses/friends is returning the array in the order in which they joined twitter , but not the order in which the user is following them. As per the documentation it says ... Returns a user's friends, each with current status inline. They are ordered by the order in which the user followed them, most recently followed first, 100 at a time But the results are different. Where as friends/ids call is returning the list as mentioned in documentation. Well i can use this list and get screen names for each id, but it is expensive as the system is a mobile app and performance is critical. Please let me know if this is a know issue or is there any thing more i need to do to get the statuses/friends as mentioned in documentation. Thanks, Srikanth

You can use TwitterVB which covers nearly the complete API in .NET (OAuth included).

If I recall correctly this endpoint has no other params other than the 'image' param in the multi-part post body whose value would be the bytes of the image file. Typically I've only seen the post params passed into the oauth signing rigmarole when the post body is urlencoded. I hope this helps, this whole OAuth thing can be very confusing at first glance.

First of all, unbelievably, the 500 Internal Server Error was being caused by an extra carriage return between my last HTTP header and the first multipart boundary. Seriously. I had two blank lines in there instead of one. Removed the extra carriage return, and my 500 vanished, being replaced by a more reasonable (401) Unauthorized - Incorrect signature error. Secondly, the OAuth documentation seems a bit shaky when it comes to multipart/form-data POSTs. But basically, you do NOT use any of the POST parameters when creating your signature. And this includes all of the OAuth-specific parameters like oauth_consumer_key, oauth_signature_method, etc. Bit of a security hole imho, OAuth implements all this complexity to avoid man-in-the-middle or replay attacks, and as soon as you do a multipart POST it's all negated. So, my signature base was literally: POSThttp%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com

I have to check if user is followed every time that a profile is visited so i would now where to put Follow or Unfollow button.It is not reasonable to execute the social graph methods every time, because sometimes users might have thousands of followers.Isn't it the friendship/exists method that needs to be fixed, after all, it is just for checking if user is followed or not..

[twitter-dev] Re: Return number of pages (or number of friends/followers) on first call with cursor
the Number of ID's is the number of followers you also can call http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-users%C2%A0show first. Within the result you have followers_count1031/followers_count friends_count293/friends_count however - you have to do an additional API call if you don't trust the pagewise calls Jesse Stay schrieb: Thomas, I don't see where it gives you the expected number of users. Originally I thought Alex said that was going to be part of it, but not seeing it in the docs. I only see ids, next_cursor, and previous_cursor.

Jesse Stay schrieb: I was wondering if it might be possible to include, at least in the first page, but if it's easier it could be on all pages, either a total expected number of followers/friends, or a total expected number of returned pages when the cursor parameter is provided for friends/ids and followers/ids? I'm assuming since you're moving to the cursor-based approach you ought to be able to accurately count this now since it's a snapshot of the data at that time. The reason I think that would be useful is that occasionally Twitter goes down or introduces code that could break this. This would enable us to be absolutely sure we've hit the end of the entire set. I guess another approach could also be to just list the last expected cursor ID in the set so we can be looking for that. Thanks, Jesse signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[twitter-dev] Social Graph Methods followers/names ?
Hi All, would it be possible to get an additional API function which delivers the screennames instead of ID's? The reason is, I work on a Client App in .NET On Startup I load the followers, friends and blocked ID's. I use this to show the status then in my application and enable/ disable the menus with follow/ unfollw DM and so on. So I save expensive API calls (follow someone which I already follow) which ends in API Errors. So far so good. Now I try to implement the search API. This delivers me ATOM XML back. I Try to fill my status object and included User object with the less informations in delivered ATOM to show it in the same Quality like a User Timeline. Unfortunately the only thing I have in ATOM result is the screenname combined with username in one tag. No Problem I resolve that with RegEx. What urgently is missed is the user ID to compare it with the followers and friend list of ID's Now 2 solutions are possible: 1) adding the userID in the search results 2) offer an API call within social graph methods which delivers screennames In case of 2) I could use the unique screenname as Key. This would be a disadvantage because of searchroutines work always slower on string. Better soulution would be to delivers the userID within the searchresults. Is there any way to realize this? I do not think that I'm the only one ho miss this. Best regards, Thomas
[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Client App Not Posting
If smthg. goes wrong you get an error back - in this very small XML Error document you have a XML node error. You should log the error and post it here On 29 Sep., 17:16, akademicjeanius enkwiringmi...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I have a Twitter app that posts updates to Twitter every 5 minutes (274 times per day). About 8 times a day, the posts get rejected for some reason. I was wondering if this is a known problem with the Twitter API or more likely something to do with my app.
[twitter-dev] Re: Posting App name for posts
You have to register your App @ Twitter and user OAuth. If you use ASP.NET you maybe can use the TwitterVB Project (DLL) It includes the full OAuth Support. c_mcintosh schrieb: I have a site posting updates to twitter using the api. I can either have it say API or it says 'From Web', I am looking at getting my site url in the From... part of the post information. I have tried setting the source parameter to a href tag, the url to the site, and just a site name and all return From Web.

[twitter-dev] Re: Social Graph Methods followers/names ?
I would see this as second coice - userID in searchresults would be the better choice because a numeric comparing is in each case faster then string comparing Best would be to get both. From side of server (Database request) both things should be not to tricky to make. cheers, Thomas Nelu Lazar schrieb: I subscribe to this request.

[twitter-dev] Twitter for Motorcycle Riders
Hi there. I am a motorcycle freak and would like to know if there is a possibility to use twitter to improve motorcycle riding, e.g. Ø finding out where the police is hiding to catch you for speeding Ø finding out about the best motorcycle streets / routes Ø finding out about the best overnight stays / hotels for riders Ø finding out about the best food on the road Ø finding out about other riders in my area Could I help realize this with you?

[twitter-dev] Re: Are there ANY advantage of using OAuth with client softwares?
Another advantage is that if a third party application's database is breached, all of the stored usernames and passwords would be exposed. If the third party application was using oauth, the access token and secret pairs are only useable if the consumer key/secret pair are found and these can be easily reset. On May 18, 2:56 pm, Adam Ness adam.n...@gmail.com wrote: The advantage to the end user of oAuth is that the client application doesn't need the user's password anymore, the user's passwords are exchanged ONLY with twitter, and cannot be sniffed/stored/whatever by the client application. There is a very strong security advantage.

I read the section What Does OAuth Give Me? (a.k.a. Why Bother?) of this article: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/OAuth+Example+-+Ruby, but I could not find what is the advantage of using OAuth *for client- software makers* . Client softwares must know end-users'(i.e. account holders') login names and passwords, so I think there aren't more advantage of using OAuth than basic-auth.
[twitter-dev] Why is http://twitter.com/statuses/followers/... restricted, but /friends/... not?
I run a site which tracks who's added a user to their friendslist on LiveJournal (and allows you to draw charts and graphs of the information when it's gathered over time). Two of my users in the last week have asked whether it's possible to extend it to track who's following them on Twitter. Here's the problem, though: the useful information to track in this case is in .../statuses/followers/username.format, because people know who they've started and stopped following, but they want to keep a list of who starts and stops following them. However, this is restricted only to people who authenticate as that user. Why is this, when .../statuses/friends/username.format is public information? Is this ever likely to change? (I suppose I could solve their problem by basically turning the site into a Twitter client and allowing each of them to store login information for their Twitter account, but it seems a rather baroque solution.)
