[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Developer QA on Stack Overflow
There's now an early Twitter investor on board with StackOverflow: http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/05/stack.html Do you think this gives more weight to the idea of Twitter officially pushing developers towards a StackOverflow tag for QA? Jon.

Many members of this group's community are active there with over 400 questions already tagged as being related to Twitter development: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/twitter It strikes me that this might be a much more effective environment than this Google Group for much of the discussion that happens here: 1) It will be much easier for people to find previous answers to questions both via Google and when they start asking a question. 2) Questions that the community deems to be most important will rise to the top and will gain attention of the team at Twitter. 3) Answers that the community deems to be correct will rise to the top saving people from trying all the suggestions in a thread. 4) Members of the community that add most value will be recognised here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged?tagnames=twittersort=statspagesize=15 I'm confident that the new developer site being built by the platform team is going to be a dramatic improvement for the community. However I do not believe Twitter have the resources to recreate the success of Stack Overflow for QA purposes. Even Google has recently opted to use Stack Overflow as the official site for Android developer QA: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/stackoverflow-android-support.php What are your thoughts on this? For this to work best, with a critical mass of participants, it would need to be endorsed by the Twitter Platform team.

Re: [twitter-dev] Attending Chirp? Let's get to know each other better, Before the Conference!
Hi Arnaud All I'm also making the trip across the Atlantic with a group of Brits under the heading of the Developer Mission: http://developermission.com Please get in touch with me off list if any of you are also travelling a long way to get to San Francisco. We have a bunch of activities planned including meetups, campus tours and meals between 12th and 19th and we have room for a few more to join us. We just released the first wave of ticket's to Europe's Unofficial Twitter Developer Unconference in London on the 8th and 9th of May. They were all allocated in under an hour but we'll be releasing more soon. Details at http://warblecamp.eventbrite.com Also coming up on the evening 20th of April is the 8th Twitter Developer Nest in London. More details and free tickets available at http://twitterdevelopernest.com I'm particularly looking forward to the hackday part of Chirp and the opportunity to hear about what other people in the ecosystem are working on. I'm looking at building a one page app that we can use to get a quick daily snap shot of all the things going on in the Twitter developer ecosystem from this Google Group, to GitHub, StackOverflow and Twitter. If I get the chance I'll also be adding some refinements to a soon to be launched app I'm woking on - http://smidgn.com See you next week!

Re: [twitter-dev] Introduce yourself!
Great idea Abraham! I'm Jonathan Markwell I first experimented with the the API in in Summer 2007 when I made our office Nabaztag Rabbit speak all the tweets in my timeline (it wasn't long before it was thrown out the window). I pay the bills as an independent Ruby on Rails developer, mostly working on Twitter integrations. I'm really interested in the challenges of scaling developer communities and have just started a series of blog posts on the topic here: http://blog.jot.is/the-unsolved-scaling-challenge I enjoy organising real world developer events and activities inspired by the barcamp, coworking, hack space and seed accelerator movements mostly in Brighton and London in the UK. These include: The Twitter Developer Nest: http://twitterdevelopernest.com WarbleCamp - The Twitter Developer Unconference: http://warblecamp.com Developer Mission - A group of UK hackers travelling to Chirp: http://developermission.com The Skiff coworking space: http://theskiff.org BootCycle - Peer support for early stage technology products: http://bootcycle.com BarCampBrighton: http://barcampbrighton.org Please let me know if you are interested in participating in any of the above or replicating them in your part of the world. The feature I'd most like to see added to the API is a way for us to add freeform metadata to tweets and users. This would enable the developer community to experiment with the potential of new features enabling us to innovate in the same way that users have with notations such as @ and #. I'm also working on my own app called Smidgn which is an approach to achieving some of the benefits the above feature would provide. Looking forward to meeting many of you at Chirp, I'm also travelling to SXSWi for the first time this year, would be great to meet any of you that are there. @jot On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 8:20 PM, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: We have not had an introductions thread in a long time (or ever that I could find) so I'm starting one.

[twitter-dev] Mass account creation
Hi All, Would be interested to hear both the community's opinion on this and the official Twitter view. I have a client that wants to create thousands of new accounts that they can use to send out a wide variety of niche interest tweets. They already have a quote from an outsourcing company that can do the work and are keen to go ahead. The accounts will, for the most part, be automated but I'm encouraging them to ensure each gets at least some human participation in them on a regular basis. I'm apprehensive about this and I'm trying to disuade them from going ahead. I'm not convinced that accounts that are primarily automated, especially when set up on this scale can add that much value to the ecosystem. Their feeling is quite the opposite and they believe the audience they are working to provide for will find this extremely valuable. In addition they are confident, and have some data to back it up, that what they are creating will bring a huge number of new real users to Twitter. What are your thoughts on this?

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Developer QA on Stack Overflow
Hi Ken, Andrew, Thank you for your thoughts! I had considered a Stack Exchange and have set up a couple of experimental QA communities using it. After the seeing what the Android and Adbobe teams are doing I think it makes much more sense to keep the programming discussion in one place on and avoid splitting the community. I've not experienced the problems new developers may have with getting started with Stack Overflow. While I'd like to think of the Twitter Platform as being a perfect starting point for new developers trying there hand at using web APIs, I think a key skill all programmers need to learn first is how to find existing solutions to problems. If a new developer finds it difficult participating in Stack Overflow vs. posting to a mailing list, they are likely to become a very high maintenance member of the community. Unfortunately looking back at the archives of this group it looks like many newbie questions go unanswered. That is far less likely to happen on Stack Overflow as there are incentives for people of all levels of expertise to help each other. Stack Overflow looks like a great opportunity to bring developer communities together which will ultimately be better for all of us. We've seen a number of language specific questions pop up here that the wider Stack Overflow community would probably do a much better job of answering. In addition, comparing discussions around different platforms side by side in Stack Overflow may increasingly influence developers trying to decide which platform (Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn) to integrate with first. I think we'd fair very well here and the more open competition between the communities will help highlight areas which should be prioritised for improvement. Jon.

One issue I've noticed with Stackoverflow is it is harder for new developers to participate where as the barrier for entry on Google Groups is just having an email address. Some email groups can be very tough on newbies and this can change (ie, get worse) over time as there are no posted rules/policy. In my view, stack exchange is well conceived to avoid the trap of a harsh expert user playing the troll and shutting out new users. There is also a place for rules, and if desired a meta-QA for discussion of the discussion. I agree though that it should be up to Twitter to provide this environment.

Hi Zac, These are some great points! On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 1:01 PM, Zac Bowling zbowl...@gmail.com wrote: Basic questions get answered usually here just as long as they are not obvious questions on the Wiki. :-) That doesn't really mean they shouldn't be answered at all. If new members of the community are primarily directed to Stack Overflow junior members of the community can gain recognition while learning more for themselves by answering these kinds of of questions. Stack Overflow has a lot of overflow (no pun) with other development communities. You see a lot of questions around how to use the twitter API with specific languages or frameworks on Stack Overflow rather then the twitter API specifically itself. And those questions also come here. The organisation of Stack Overflow means that once properly tagged they shouldn't cause too much noise for the rest of us. More often then not, this list is usually filled with people that understand their platform well enough and past the basics of the API and are trying to maintain or develop larger twitter related projects these days. The questions that come up are usually around the lesser accessed/less trivial APIs (streaming, social graph, and oauth to some extent) or by people that need understanding on rate limiting or white-listing with the API that only the twitter devs maybe able to help with, or sometimes just to discuss changes in the API or bugs that popup as things happen. Stack Overflow is awesome but it's not a good platform for what goes on here. I'm not saying Stack Overflow can replace everything that goes on here. My concern is that if the QA / support posts continue grow in volume the list may become too noisy for some of the higher level discussion to continue effectively. Jon.

In addition, comparing discussions around different platforms side by side in Stack Overflow may increasingly influence developers trying to decide which platform (Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn) to integrate with first. I think we'd fair very well here and the more open competition between the communities will help highlight areas which should be prioritised for improvement. Jon.

One issue I've noticed with Stackoverflow is it is harder for new developers to participate where as the barrier for entry on Google Groups is just having an email address. Some email groups can be very tough on newbies and this can change (ie, get worse) over time as there are no posted rules/policy. In my view, stack exchange is well conceived to avoid the trap of a harsh expert user playing the troll and shutting out new users. There is also a place for rules, and if desired a meta-QA for discussion of the discussion. I agree though that it should be up to Twitter to provide this environment.

[twitter-dev] Twitter Developer QA on Stack Overflow
Hi All, I'm sure that many of you have seen the rise of Stack Overflow as the source for developer questions and answers over the last year. Many members of this group's community are active there with over 400 questions already tagged as being related to Twitter development: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/twitter It strikes me that this might be a much more effective environment than this Google Group for much of the discussion that happens here: 1) It will be much easier for people to find previous answers to questions both via Google and when they start asking a question. 2) Questions that the community deems to be most important will rise to the top and will gain attention of the team at Twitter. 3) Answers that the community deems to be correct will rise to the top saving people from trying all the suggestions in a thread. 4) Members of the community that add most value will be recognised here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged?tagnames=twittersort=statspagesize=15 I'm confident that the new developer site being built by the platform team is going to be a dramatic improvement for the community. However I do not believe Twitter have the resources to recreate the success of Stack Overflow for QA purposes. Even Google has recently opted to use Stack Overflow as the official site for Android developer QA: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/stackoverflow-android-support.php What are your thoughts on this? For this to work best, with a critical mass of participants, it would need to be endorsed by the Twitter Platform team. Do you think Stack Overflow should be named as the place for Twitter developer QA?

In both cases, the conference could be recorded as a podcast to be redistributed if necessary. Mixing both telephone and Web conferencing for users who are not able to join the Web meeting is possible. About the Web meeting, it would be possible to support 2 or 3 concurrent video streams but the number of participants would be unlimited.
