[twitter-dev] return count
Has there been any updates/improvements to the API that will allow me to search on a term and request a count of the number of term mentions? Is this something I can achieve through the API? thanks! -- 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

Hi Taylor - thanks for your quick response. Is there a fee-based service provided by Twitter that could provide this info? If not could you mention a few more other services in addition to topsy that could do a decent job. thanks again On Feb 7, 1:02 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Hi there, Still not much in the way of counting methods in the Twitter Search API.

thanks for the input. I'll take a look at the slides. On Feb 7, 1:54 pm, M.

If you look at Kevin Weil's slides from Strata (http://www.slideshare.net/kevinweil/rainbird-realtime-analytics-at-tw...), I'd say the strategy would be 1. Develop a validated business model. 2. Wait for the Cassandra / Rainbird patches described to go open source. 3. Subscribe to Gnip's PowerTrack (http://blog.gnip.com/twitter-firehose-filtering-with-power-track/) and feed it to your Cassandra / Rainbird instance. Don't skip step 1 - at ten cents a kilotweet it will take you longer than it will take Twitter to open source the Cassandra / Rainbird patches. ;-) -- http://twitter.com/znmebhttp://borasky-research.net A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems. -- Paul Erdős -- 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
