Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Support from a...@twitter.com sucks!!!
The GWT community was pretty responsive to inquiries and that made it a lot more appealing IMO. Email lists in general are a gamble and a haven for self promotion and the old diagnose a problem and offer a solution marketeers. I offered some pretty detailed research to some chiq that claimed to want feedback on social crm clients on here and she ignored me, her loss. I knew who she was though, kinda. Weak style. Support from MS sounds hellish, what do they do, how many numbers do they assign to you and how many times do they make you repeat yourself? On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 11:44 PM, M.

i'm sure someone is comparing our request with our last book purchase on amazon and designing us a new pair of jeans.

Re: [twitter-dev] Support from a...@twitter.com sucks!!!
i think, i asked something less complicated and got radio silence. funny, what people respond to. i forget what it was actually, i think i wanted to know how to or if i could use oauth on a site and retrieve the geo info of the user id. signup and automatically plot their waypoint. i figured as much about the excess of questions that probably go through the system.

I like the community too, that is why when I received my canned ticket response I shrugged it off. : It is a big misnomer to label everyone as developers let alone as freelance. A good number of us actually run very serious businesses with substantial revenues. Either way, support is support a valid request should receive a valid response for whatever you think you are.

additional question. What is the easiest way to obtain a KML feed of tweets? Pipes?
