Hi,
Trying to follow people using the API, is providing me a 403 Forbidden
response.
But this doesn't aways happen, and following famous users doesn't
cause any problem.
Am I running into any limits/filters? What are they?
I verified the inconsistency in following responses manually. The

I was kicked out of Twitter search because I was only using my Twitter
ID as an RSS. This is no longer the case who do I appeal to show that
my twitter ID TBAblogs would help make search more relevant? Are
there any real people watching?
Unless someone here is a lawyer, we should probably avoid legal
debate- consult with each our own counsels, and move on to doing what
we do best (coding).
I find these debates are often filled with FUD, misinformation,
speculation, a misunderstanding of law, etc
The easiest way to get around it i
Hi,
I am facing an issue with statuses/destroy API call. It returns 400
(bad request) even though mentioned tweet id is delered sucessfully.
The method was working fine few days back but started gicing trouble
recently.
Anyone having same trouble? Is anything wrong with this API call?
Great, thanks everyone :)

Hi,
I am facing problem while Deleting any Tweet from my application.
http://www.twitter.com/statuses/destroy/id.xml always gives me 400
status code but also deletes the tweet. So in my application it is
caught as an exception only and error message is shown to user even
though tweet is deleted.
thank you, I am looking for what terminology to use in searching, not
for someone to "do it" for me. I am new to twitter so not even sure
what "it" is. =p
And looking for resources so I can self-educate.
I have done ActionScripting for 10 years and am use to providing links
to good resources as
yes i too encountered this (both status/destroy and direct_messages/destroy
are giving 400 error but the status gets deleted successfully. The response
text says something like "somehow we could not delete this tweet."

Eagle1,
In order to customer the "from API", your application must
authenticate with Twitter using OAuth.
There are several libraries available that implement OAuth. What
language/platform are you targeting with your development?

This is good news. No one will be getting sued over Tweet then.
Yet, keep in mind that Twitter probably *could * shut off access to
the API to any company they choose, as its their playground and their
rules. Not that they'll start doing that at all however.

Thanks Scott,This is already the approach I've followed and it worked. I
created a contact (CSV) file and imported it into a gmail account. It was
around 1700+e-mail addresses which correspond to one segment of the
customers. I got the list and I copied them and started to omit the
information I do
Yes, We'll send an e-mail to invite them. But we'll only send the e-mail to
the customers who're already using twitter. This is why we need to filter
the 400K and find out and then send a custom invitation. I know it looks a
bit strange but it has its business justifications.Regards,

Internets. Serious business.
My only statements regarding ethics or morality is that with a list of
400K people, there will be many ways in which those 400K people
interpret what you are doing.
So you were able to do 1700 emails so far, can you figure out what the
limit is? At that point, I would probably use a care

Right now there is no way to add a custom source from curl using Basic
Auth. You can, however, force it to say "from web" by adding
"source=web" in the POST variables.

1. It's unethical because Twitter users have never authorized Twitter
to use their email addresses in this way. The TOS specifically states

A quick google search shows how to use the Embeded Safari browser to
change the user-agent.
If you change the user-agent to something a desktop would use, it
should work for you.
Realize though that this will then give the desktop presentation of
the website, which may not be ideal..
