[twitter-dev] Re: collecting followers and friends

2011-03-05 Thread mabujo
Run this in the background - don't do it on page load if you can avoid
it.
Also, if you are using PHP to compare the lists don't use array_diff
as this is very slow on large arrays.

 I have a site for twitter based tools. One of the options was to enable
 users see the people their non-friend-followers and non-follower-friends.
 The only way I could see to achieve this is to gather and store the complete
 list of followers and friends locally and calculate from that. This is done
 at the time of login(oAuth) . For small accounts it is working ok. But for
 large accounts (one of the accounts for testing with has a total number of  
 followers+friends  3) it is taking from 20 seconds to anything up to 2
 minutes(at 5000 per call, this is taking 6 calls).

 Looking for any suggestions to improve the performance

This method requires authentication, so you will need to sign the
request with oauth tokens before it will work.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API: Searching world twits (location enabled)

2011-03-04 Thread mabujo
You could use the streaming api and throw away tweets that have no
location data/show them as having a default location.
Whether or not this is a viable option for you depends on how often
the keyword is tweeted and whether you need to index absolutely all
tweets for the keyword...

 Does any body know how is it possible to:
 search a keyword among all twits in the whole world, while each
 returned twit contains the location it was generated?

 I know that twits can be searched within an area passing lat,lon and
 radius but I want to search the keyword within the twits in the whole
 world.
 Any help will be truly appreciated.

[twitter-dev] Re: Whitelisting is still in the docs. Please remove this.

2011-02-12 Thread mabujo
Jan, yes twitter have said they're removing whitelisting for new
requests, see here :

 Whoa, does that mean twitter is no longer whitelisting??

 Guys, I spent nearly two years working on the app - it's nearly ready,
 whitelisting is essential to us.

 Please advice,

 Jan

  Sorry Adam, missed this document among the many -- it's fixed now. The form

  Ryan, Taylor, Matt, I know changing mistakes in the docs has been
  impossible in the past. My guess is that someone lost the password for
  these pages. But leaving the whitelisting statement in the docs and
  the whitelisting form online is a sign of complete disrespect for your
  developers. New devs will see this and still think they can get
  whitelisting. Even worse they will waste their time building apps that
  need whitelisting, since the request form says:
  Whitelisting is only available to developers and to applications in
  production

  How would you feel if you started building an app today, spent months
  on it, got it into production, and then waited months for approval,
  since the docs say you won't get a response until approval is done?

  Not removing this shows that developers don't really matter to
  Twitter. Removing it right away shows that they do. Please don't say
  that you are too busy to make that change, and that it will be done
  some time in the future. Nobody is that busy.

  Please remove it. Thanks.
