[twitter-dev] Re: API for marking tweets seen
Al3x has talked about adding a curser to mark progress on this list before. So if you read through a bunch of statuses on you iPhone the last one you read will get stored and when you switch to your desktop app it starts displaying at that specific status. I have no idea if this feature is still planned or not though. Of course you could always create a third party API in the meantime. Abraham On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 11:51, Neicole wrote: > > Yup.

Yup. And, related, I think it would be great to have a way to filter out repeat tweets in people's streams.

Yes that would be a nice feature to have. A simple true/false value in the status payload marking it read/unread would do just fine. Also having an API endpoint to toggle this would also be nice for marking statuses as unread/read.

[twitter-dev] Re: API for marking tweets seen
I agree. I use multiple clients throughout the day and the ability to know where I left off is a huge plus so that I don't have to "memorize" what the last tweet I read was (especially if its been a while). Although it would be a bit difficult and can turn into a nightmare for the website. For example, with email, we must list all our email and if we have a lot of people emailing us (this is equivalent to people we follow), we end up with a backlog that we must go through and mark everything read by hand (or select all then mark as read). It can make things a little overwhelming, unless they are automatically marked as read once you log out (fetch only those since the last login).
