Re: [twitter-dev] Support from a...@twitter.com sucks!!!

2010-01-12 Thread Tim Haines
Twitter's been trying to hire new support staff for quite a while now.
 You'll probably remember Doug's email.  From what I can determine, they've
had no luck finding people, because it's still the engineers answering
questions in here.

They're stretched.  Saying something sucks and following it with !!!
probably doesn't help the moral of the guys who are helping - often out of
hours from what I can see.

I feel the frustration too, but there's definitely more constructive things
you can do about it.  Why not send out a tweet, or message to your other
networks saying Twitter's looking for support staff?

Tim.

 I suggest that you check out the API wiki for this information:
 http://apiwiki.twitter.com/ . We also have a very active and helpful
 community at http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk ,
 where our API team interacts with developers on a regular basis. You
 may want to join the group to participate in conversations about
 topics like these.

 Hope that helps,

i'm sure someone is comparing our request with our last book purchase on
amazon and designing us a new pair of jeans.

Have you tried posting the question here? To be fair the number of devs
using twitter API is so huge, it will be impossible for them to answer
individual requests.

2010-01-11 Thread Angel Robert Marquez
i think, i asked something less complicated and got radio silence. funny,
what people respond to. i forget what it was actually, i think i wanted to
know how to or if i could use oauth on a site and retrieve the geo info of
the user id. signup and automatically plot their waypoint.

i figured as much about the excess of questions that probably go through the
system.
