[twitter-dev] Twitter basic

2010-07-16 Thread TinyT
Hi, I want to find out how exactly Twitter works technically. I am a
utterly non-technical person (read social scientist). How is Twitter
built up technically, which layers, which programming languages are at
play? Also what algorithms are used by Twitter? I hope this is not too
trival for you guys, but it is crucial for me to dig beyond the
interface to start understanding Twitter. Thanks!!

sharing the text...whether it will work fine after june 30th  or we
must have to give new update with oAuth API ...please give us guidance

You must have the new oAuth API in place or your app with no longer work..

Twitter has given the drop-dead date for removal of the Basic Auth privileges 
for EVERYONE as June 30th.

Sorry
