[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter + Gnip Partnership
"Twitter or the user own the copyrights. Probably both. I meant it has been made public information, thereby granting some rights to those it was made public to." This is a good point, makes one think: "What exactly are the rights someone is implicitly giving up just by posting it in a public forum, and if someone else is found using such posted contents inappropriately, at a later date, what legal recourse does the original poster have, to have the inappropriate usage rescinded and compensated for damages" >From an authority source: "Merely posting a work online does not relinquish all rights. As in other environments, merely placing property in public does not release property rights. The Internet context, however, may indicate that some actions with respect to the work are implicitly permitted." (as long as it doesnt harm the poster and the forum from which the post was taken) This is from http://www.ipinfoblog.com/archives/intellectual-property-posting-as-implied-license.html Facebook made the same argument. “Anyone can opt out of appearing here by changing their Search privacy settings.” And someone asks "Yeah, but should they have to?" http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/28/hacker-proves-facebooks-public-data-is-public/ I imagine this whole 'using twitter tweets only for analysis/ aggregation' is a non-issue, because you are only statistically mining info, without any personal data attached to it. But RapLeaf removed identifying info (name, tel, etc) from their profile databases once complaints started coming in. To be safe, if you are mining tweets only for analysis, I wouldnt store the userid, because userid is 'identifying info' that can be used to tie the tweet to its originator. Most people wont bother, because the prevailing idealogy is that if you tweeted, then you understood that the whole world knows what you tweeted and you cant take the knowledge back. ~~~ Mohan Arun ~~~ -- 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

See "The Streaming API is distinct from the two REST APIs as Streaming supports long-lived connections on a different architecture."

[twitter-dev] Re: Learning how to use the API
"Do you look for online examples, or is there a way to "comprehend" how to use which class and method?" Going through every class and method -> time consuming, tedious, API specs change all the time, probably overwhelming because there's a lot of methods and you will not know how it all fits together. It will be like looking at eyes, ears, legs, etc. all in isolation but unless you have first seen the human body form as to how it all fits together it might be difficult to 'comprehend'. Looking for online examples - if you are beginning, this is what I would suggest. Once you feel confident, give a quick glance through all available methods in the API so you have an idea of what is available , what can and cannot be done etc. I would start with articles like this http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-twitterREST/index.html I would then Google 'twitter api example' or 'twitter api tutorial' and look for similar usage-based examples.
