We already have email as an option (and SMS, and a variety of other methods) - we had been specifically asked by a couple of customers to use twitter as a notification feed and this development was in response to those requests. We actually do take customer requests in and listen to what they are

Well, guess we just have to wait and see, but to be honest I get the feeling that we are just going to have to can this project. It's a shame that this has happened, all we can do is explain to or customers that it is a situation outside of our control and that it's twitter that are preventing thi

[twitter-dev] Problems with direct message api

2011-02-03 Thread pl
Trying to do an app that can send private messages to a user, these messages could be sent at any time and would be triggered by real-time events that require a notification to be sent to a registered user. Tried using the direct_message/new api and whilst that does send the message, it appears to
