I think it would be great if the part of the API docs (or wherever it is)
that tells you how to get an identifier were expanded to cover this sort of
question. It comes up over and over again, so it's clear the docs could be
more helpful and/or more prominent.

A little off-topic:
Have Twitter detected abuse coming from Amazon EC2 IP address ranges?
I'm not building a Twitter app, but I'm very curious to know what the
reputation of Amazon's IP blocks is like. I imagine Amazon have plenty of
EC2 instances running code written by evildoers. I wonder

Loic loves everyone, but he had an auto-follow bot that followed everyone

Sorry, I don't buy that for a second :-)

I've been getting a lot of mails telling me people are following me, but
when I click to take a look at the person I am not being followed by them.
At first I just assumed this was some kind of eventual consistency issue
with Twitter and that the web interface was showing the person with

Hi Andrew
Out of curiosity, have you signed up for any of those autofollower apps
or bots or programs?
No. This could all just be coincidence - that people are in fact following
me, and then unfollowing soon after for some reason. We don't know how much
latency there is in Twitter's outgoing
Zac Good to know before I started spamming @spam with my own log data.
Right.
When Twitter becomes a religion, I'm sure they'll set up an account where
apps can go to confess that they're spammers. Until then you'll have to
wait :-)

This is not an API question, but I don't know where else to ask it...
Twitter recently changed their web setup. When I click on the followers
link when I logged in on http://twitter.com I get a page of followers and
choose between List and Expanded views.
My first problem is that when I click

Hi Josh
That's great, it looks very clean. I'll give it a try soon.
BTW, you raise NotImplemented in (at least) cache.py. That should instead
be raise NotImplementedError.

To be fair, the new version mostly seemed to please the guy I was on the
phone with, but I got the impression he was shooting from the hip when he
said that I would probably need to change the blue in the logo.
Law firms bill by the hour.
I just submitted a whitelisting request, along with a comment along the
following lines:
I think it would be good if Twitter did API call accounting based on the
HTTP auth header whenever one is sent - even if the call itself does not
require auth.

Hi all
I'm writing an app that will give the user a way to tweet results via
OAuth. I think I understand the steps involved but I'd like to be sure.
Here's a summary of what I plan to do. A first thing to know is that I plan
to use a cookie to know whether a user has previously used our app.

Following up to myself:
Yes I experience the same. Not sure what causes it...
I see the same thing.
The browser location bar shows http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize when you
have the error page up. So something is redirecting us to the /oauth when
we try a normal web login.

This seems inconsistent:
The API docs (http://bit.ly/TVwXI) state that to successfully call
/statuses/friends on a protected user, you must authenticate and be allowed
to see the user. OTOH, twitter.com lets you see the friends/followers list
of protected users if you're simply logged in - no
Apologies if this seems spammy. We just released a Twitter search and

It might be of interest to fellow Twitter API programmers because you can

additions and those of others, etc.
Really very cool.
