Re: Pinging back if there is an update by twitter? Is it possible?
If you use friendfeed, you may know that if you post a new status message on twitter, it appears in your friendfeed account only in 2 or 3 seconds. I think there is a ping API protocol between twitter and friendfeed. How can we do that? For instance, I follow your account and you're updating your status very frequently (i.e. new status per minute) I can make a cronjob which gets your status message with RSS, but I think this is not a good way to that if you follow nearly a hundred of people. friendfeed does this for at least 30.000 twitter users and gets updates instantly. Firehose (TBA), or Gnip, would be your best options. See http://www.gnipcentral.com/ for more about Gnip. TTBOMK the firehose data connection is not yet available. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense. --
