Chris, I am not worried about that or any of this, but agree that it's unfortunate to lose the choice. And it feels wrong to be obfuscating links to my own website... For apps that display tweets, I understand that the t.co link must be used and not the display link. But what does it mean, "requir

For use on a web page, try a Google custom search engine (CSE) with setSiteRestriction("twitter.com"). You can get older tweets - if they come up in the results. Works well for 'dated' subjects! Hint - use inurl:status On Jun 1, 12:05 pm, msr wrote: > Hi, > > I understand the Search API gives t
