[twitter-dev] Re: Certificate Twitter Apps
Thanks Dave, this could be a good approach. Something like a social proof is good enough, and this brings me to mind that project: https://whatapp.org/ Where any developer can submit their app, and any user can comment it: https://whatapp.org/twitter/ In any case, answering this question involves a social point of view, a design and UI experience point of view, and a politically correct point of view (as you stated don't say what you are not doing by batch processing...), so you got some good points of those ones ;) Also, there's a difference between Twitter and Facebook, because of Facebook Canvas. Embedding the app in Facebook give the users more confidence with the app itself, since is not something out of the box, but it something belonging to Facebook itself. So if you trust Facebook, you probabily would trust such an app. I figure out also the different UI experience between Twitter oAuth popup based or redirect based and - finally - via the xAuth on mobile devices. Those three ui experience, bring us a lot of questions about which is the best user experience during the authorization process.

Give your users confidence by proactively anticipating their fears and addressing them. Figure out what would stop them from signing in with OAuth and answer those questions upfron. The favstar.fm example is very good as it demonstrates this process, and shows specific answers to specific fears. Perhaps also show some social proof. tell them how many other user are successfully using your app. Have you got 100,000 users..? Well if you do then tell them that 100,000 users are using your app safely already, and have all signed in with OAuth. 100,000 is just an example.. Address the topic in your support forums with specific articles, questions and answers too. And finally, honor their confidence. If you say you'll never tweet to their account, NEVER tweet to their account. If you betray this unspoken trust then all will be lost.. If you can get this right then you'll really see your conversions climb..!

Hi, I'm Loreto Parisi, I'm core engineer at Stickphone. Stickphone is a web video phone for Twitter and Facebook. Stickphone permits to have funny video calls with your friends on Twitter o Facebook. We are using Twittter REST API and Facebook Graphi API plus oAuth for user authentication. The User Interface is Flex based and video streaming is a P2P service.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to show top 20 twiits of the day
Hi, I'm using the Home and Public Timelines API in a web app. The Home Timeline permits to have a count of the tweets to retrieve and to paginate them, the Public not. So we have different list behaviours on the list based API. I think it could be a nice features for developers to have a similar behavior for pagination and count in all list-based api, instead of doing this client-side.

Great work! Thank you! On 3 Mar, 05:29, Isaiah Carew isa...@me.com wrote: Hi guys, For those looking to implement xAuth for Mac OS X, I've set up a complete working demo app. It uses MGTwitterEngine and the OAConsumer libs to do the dirty work and just adds enough to implement the new xAuth flow. I've tried to keep the code as simple to understand as possible, but it does the basics: - Adds the required parameters to the access token request - Overloads the request method in MGTwitterEngine with a signed request. - Shows how to store the access key in the Mac OS X Keychain. - Performs a basic tweet post and fetches the home timeline. It's just meant to help people get going and see a complete solution in action or a as a resource to compare their own solution. I did one of these for OAuth last summer and it was pretty popular, so I figured I'd just keep the ball rolling. You can see the github repo here:http://github.com/yourhead/xAuth_ObjC_Test_App And if you're not approved for xAuth you can download a complete Mac OS X binary that was compiled with working keys -- in case you just need something simple to TCP dump. You can download the binary here: http://github.com/yourhead/xAuth_ObjC_Test_App/downloads I'd be pleased with any sort of feedback, about the code, about the app, or just ways that it could be made more approachable for people new to the topic. isaiahhttp://twitter.com/isaiah/http://twitter.com/kiwi-app/
[twitter-dev] Twitter Search Italian Language Filter
Hello, I opened this thread to discuss about Twitter Search API and Web Search in Italian Language. The language support in the backend simply lacks of something, since a web search on a trending topic with the lang filter: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=haitilang=it will return results in english, spanish and sometimes in italian too. The same things happens calling the Twitter API: curl http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=itq=Haiti; So, the filter does not work. What's the matter searching for tweets in italian language?
