And if not, why not? (Other than not giving a whit about 3rd party Twitter client app developers, but being more interested in helping developers of other apps integrate Twitter into their apps.)

Re: How do I uninstall/reinstall twurl? (was Re: [twitter-dev] twurl is getting Read-only application cannot POST)
'twurl accounts' shows 3 consumer keys. Changing it to 2nd one does seem to have solved the problem. I don't know why, because, as I stated and demonstrated before, none of my apps were every read/write, but at this point I don't give a sh*t why, as long as it's working. It only cost me ~3 days of troubleshooting. Gosh, yeah, twurl is just as easy as curl. OAuth is so convenient to use on the command line. For those who may come afterwards and wonder how to edit your 'accounts' you have to edit ~/.twurlrc. I didn't see any way to do something like 'twurl account delete' Sorry to be so gruff, but this has been a huge hassle and a complete waste of time. Thanks to @themattharris for finding a solution, even if there's still no explanation. Other than well it must have been read only even though it wasn't.

[twitter-dev] t.co mixed messages
On the list we were told: our current plan is that no user will see a t.co URL on twitter.com but we still have some details to work through. the links will still be displayed as they were sent in, but the target of the link will be the t.co link instead. and, we want to provide the same ability to display original links to developers. we're going to use the entities attribute to make this possible. On the website, (http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/links-and-twitter-length-shouldnt.html) Twitter said: When this is rolled out more broadly to users this summer, all links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps will be wrapped with a t.co URL. A really long link such as http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 might be wrapped as http://t.co/DRo0trj for display on SMS, but it could be displayed to web or application users as amazon.com/Delivering- or as the whole URL or page title. Ultimately, we want to display links in a way that removes the obscurity of shortened link and lets you know where a link will take you. Reading that last sentence, it makes it sound like you are going to auto-expand shortened URLs, which would effectively kill all other URL shortening services. Can someone clarify this?

If I post http://ƒ.ws/tco; to Twitter (which is a redirect to http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/links-and-twitter-length-shouldnt.html), will the user see http://ƒ.ws/tco; and if the user clicks on http://ƒ.ws/tco will it actually go through (for analytics, etc)?

Here's a simple use case: Change your Twitter password If you are using only OAuth apps, they will be unaffected. If you are using Basic Auth apps, you will have to go around and update all of them OR risk being locked out of your Twitter account. I know; this just happened to me. More below… On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 9:28 AM, Dean Collins d...@cognation.net wrote: So basically you are saying Twitter wants a chokehold to block apps they don’t like which you don’t currently have with basic auth. Considering your recent purchase of a twitter client is that really a message you want to be spreading at the moment? How about leaving it up to end users to make the decision about which clients they do and don’t use to access twitter. Restricting all clients to oauth only is hardly going to give developers warm and fuzzy feelings that with a single keystroke a client can be banned instantly across the entire ecosystem. Or am I missing something? Dean, seriously, lay off the X-Files re-runs. They're making you sound paranoid. Twitter has been talking about this for ***at least*** 6 months, maybe 12. Bringing up the purchase of Tweetie only make it looks like you have an axe to grind. Leave it to end users? Because end users will do what developers will do: the laziest option available. Requiring users to repeatedly type Twitter passwords is going to lead most of them to a) use insecure passwords and b) not change them. Forcing developers who would otherwise be too lazy to implement OAuth to change will make it better for users and developers in the long run. I say this as someone whose ONLY method of interacting with the Twitter API is on the commandline, meaning that I am going to have to look at every single piece of code I've written, every little shell script (several dozen, at least) to see where I have to change things. And I don't make a dime from this, I'm providing a free service. As are — oh yeah — Twitter. Giving away your password is insecure. Twitter users have been extremely vulnerable to this. This will make Twitter accounts more secure. It's a good thing that requires extra work. Changing your password when using Basic Auth is a giant PITA. I know because I just did it across all my Twitter accounts and clients. And anyone who says that Twitter is springing this on people is either a liar or ignorant.

Follow a small number, perhaps 50, per day. If these follows are not followed back in a week, unfollow them. Log this attempt, and repeat it again after an interval of perhaps 30 days. If 2 or 3 follow attempts for an account fail to gain a follow back, then stop trying permanently for that account. Why not do something much simpler: 1.

[twitter-dev] Re: Getting Blocked user list
The only list of blocked users you can access is your own. I haven't heard of any plans to let you access others' blocked user list On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 7:33 AM, stevie stevie@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, Can anyone suggest me if there is a way for getting the blocked users list of mine such as getting friends and followers. If not is there any beta implementation going on related this. Any suggestion regarding this will be helpful. Thanks and Regards, Steve.
[twitter-dev] Re: Moderators, can you trim this address from list?

User: if you're actually active on list, please use a reliable email server, and not that box in your mom's basement. I can pull it, but why are you getting a bounce message? Are you sending a copy to them as well as to the list? IIRC homelinux.net is one of those free DNS forwarding domains from DynDNS… I'd guess they have their mail forwarding to their home server which has been offline for longer than the mail system will accept, and so it's bouncing back to the original sender.

[twitter-dev] Re: Time zone support
On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 2:03 PM, Emrah e...@ekanet.net wrote: That's the main point of my suggestion! It helps avoiding the need of making calculation to know at what time a Tweet has been posted according to the poster's timezone. It doesn't make sense to see that Jeff said Good morning at 12:30 even though it was 06:30 for him... Of course for a personal timeline I will need to have the 13:30 information, but I would appreciate to have a mention of Jeff's timezone somewhere. For now, I must calculate each post's timestamp, whether it comes from India, Switzerland, New-York or Australia... If tweets all start having variable timezones, it is just another thing that has to be calculated around to get times into the local timezone for end users. I am not going to repeat myself... I still believe this feature would emphasize the international impact of Twitter and improve the user experience. What do you think? I think it's solving a problem that doesn't exist. It doesn't bother me to see my friends in Australia talking about going to bed when it's morning for me. And how are you going to decide whether or not it's a pertinent message? If my mom posts Not feeling well, going to bed at 9pm, are you going to show that message if I'm in another timezone? Or if a friend posts Great night, just getting to bed at 4am their time? Good morning! I slept 18 hours! Seriously, I don't see a) why this is a problem or b) even if you accept that it is a problem, how you'd implement a solution. Now if you could find a way to filter out political message or pro-Yankees posts, THAT would solve a real world problem :-) TjL

No, I'm wrong… OFF is only for SMS… LEAVE is supposed to unfollow. Sorry TjL

[twitter-dev] Re: update_delivery_device method
You used to be able to get Twitter via IM. Back before most people were using it. Heck even by the time I got here it was starting to flake out, although there are some IM clients now which will fetch your feeds (Trillian, for one) TjL On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 12:36 PM, Gijsbert gijsbert.de.h...@gmail.com wrote: What does the 'im' device mean?
