A question on this and how it relates to User Streams. Unless I'm
mistaken (only took a cursory look/played around with User Streams),
User Streams uses Basic Auth. So if my app uses both the User Streams
API and the REST API, I have to both use xAuth for the REST calls and
store the
I like that annotations will be open so that the various schema can
live/die organically based on client adoption (or lack thereof) rather
than an artificially-emposed constraint.
I outlined some of my ideas for annotations (or Twitterformats, as I
called them) at the end of last year at

Hey guys,
Just a quick heads up to let you know that I took the work of a bunch of
awesome developers, pruned out the unnecessary browser-based oAuth stuff,
tweaked a bit, and made a quick sample app to demonstrate it all and
simplify the implementation of xAuth in iPhone apps.

Like a n00b, I didn't include the id of my app in my original support
request (I hadn't registered it since I wasn't using oAuth previously) and
so it looks like I've missed the initial boat :( Got a message back asking
for my app id so I registered Feathers and got back to the ticket but
Ooh, if this is the case then it will definitely stop me from using oAuth
for Feathers (http://feathersapp.com) since diacritics are an essential part
of Unicode art.
Very interested in hearing what you find out.

Hi gals guys,
I'm Aral Balkan and I'm an interaction designer and iPhone/Flash/Web
developer. I just launched my second iPhone app called Feathers (decorate

text styles, including upside-down, and even Morse code (the 1.1
It would be awesome to have a status API – isolated from the actual API –
that applications can ping and use to display helpful information to users.
(Or even just a very simple page that you could load in – even in a mobile
app – to display the current status of Twitter when something goes wrong
Thanks, Ryan, I really appreciate it.
The app's launched, by the way, so the cat's out of the bag – it's
called Feathers (decorate your tweets!) :) There's a short 1-min
screencast at http://feathersapp.com if you guys want to take a look.

If you don't have a US-registered trademark for your app, you're out of

If you do, you file a trademark complaint.

Hey Alex,
Another thing I was thinking about was specifically for AIR-based apps

If that's included in the desktop app, especially in a SWF for AIR

possibly logging out/in to different accounts on Twitter) just scares
me.
