[twitter-dev] Re: Quality Filter in Streaming API with follow predicates
Heh :-) The app we're building, TweetPo.st, is designed to post the user's tweets to Facebook. So, the call-to-action I proposed would be specific to our app: i.e. if TweetPo.st users were not seeing the expected behavior from the app. But, we have decided to do basically what you suggest to start. However, this will not help us if a user starts out in the clear and is then subsequently quality filtered for whatever reason. But, hopefully that's a real edge-case.

We're already doing direct polling for protected updates, so it would just be a matter of detecting the quality filtered public updates and flipping the direct polling bit on our side.

FYI: There's already an app that posts Tweets to Facebook. -John On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 12:02 AM, Jonathan Strauss jonat...@snowballfactory.com wrote: Heh :-) The app we're building, TweetPo.st, is designed to post the user's tweets to Facebook.

Indeed several, but people love ours because we do it smarter: * change @mentions to Twitter real names * post links to FB wall so your friends can see previews, watch videos, and/or play audio inline * give you the option of an inclusive (#fb) or exclusive (!fb) filter on what tweets to post See #3 on http://mashable.com/2009/05/25/twitter-to-facebook/ :-) On Feb 25, 6:17 am, John Kalucki j...@twitter.com wrote: FYI: There's already an app that posts Tweets to Facebook. -John On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 12:02 AM, Jonathan Strauss jonat...@snowballfactory.com wrote: Heh :-) The app we're building, TweetPo.st, is designed to post the user's tweets to Facebook.
