Dewald,
These rules apply to third party apps. @twittersuggests is not a third
party app, but an experimental feature, developed and owned by
Twitter.
Now I can also understand this Do as I Say, not as I Do situation
can be irritating. But I guess the best thing to do at this point is
probably
It's an @reply spambot, pure and simple. There is no vetting of
suggested users - it didn't take either me or Marshall Kirkpatrick
long to find a tweeter that was not safe for work in @twittersuggests'
stream.
It's a bad idea - Twitter needs to quit screwing around with stuff
like this and solve
Arnaud,
Know what I totally cannot understand? Why is it that Twitter, through
various spokespersons, continually reinforces the impression that they
pay scant lip service to the alleged notion that they value the third
party developer ecosystem?

That's comforting to know. With that being the case, can you please
enlighten us as to why Twitter is apparently violating its own rules,
which, as you said, are still in force and we all still are apparently
expected to adhere to?

For example - make a script which tracks a specific #hashtag you are
required to include to be in the chain, then each time it is mentioned
harvest the in reply to from that tag and keep it in a database
which can then be used to access that tweet later...

Hey gloopymoop,
Like the original thread said, you can use the search API to search
for tweets to that particular user and check the in_reply_to_status_id
field. If you want to track the chain (ie all the replies to
@dtran320's reply to @gloopymoop's original tweet), then you have to

Thankyou for your reply. I'm a little unsure as to how the streaming
API method would work.. can you give me an example ? I would still
have to create a local database of the chain, right?

Just to close the loop on my issue: I got some off-list help, Twitter
investigated, and it turns out my IP address had been blacklisted in
error. The blacklisting is removed, and I'm back in business.
I must say it's nice that I could ask a question on this list, and get

Thanks very much for the reply.

There are two levels of blacklisting. One is a temporary band that
resets every few minutes. This one gives you 401 errors. Then there's
an IP black hole that is removed by an operator. Currently the IP
black hole sends a TCP RST, but we might might also null route you.
You can verify an IP block
OK, just checked this morning and in reply to links are back on the

I'm adding my opinion to this thread after a little bit of back-and-
forth with @simX and @KuraFire on Twitter the other day. 140
characters is just not enough to convey a complete argument.
This change of functionality has turned a feature that was in a
definite gray area, to black and white.
So your argument of mouse vs keyboard use doesn't even convince ME, an
avid keyboard user.
I like it how I'm supposed to be the one that's an uninformed idiot,
except for the fact that I actually use the Twitter website daily, and
I can tell you that simply typing @name is faster than having

I, personally, found the false positives much more acceptable than the

Most of them are coming either from Twitterrific or from web, but
that's probably just an artifact of those users whom I follow. Most
of my friends on Twitter are those who do Mac and iPhone development,
and are most likely using Twitterrific on their Macs.

One of my main concerns is with SMS. There is current *no* way for SMS users

marked as wont fix.
