[twitter-dev] Re: Recurring Tweets
Thanks Matt, The thing is that the automated rules doesn't actually mention it anymore. I swear it used to... Is there no place that just says "Yes it's allowed" or "No it isn't." Or, is what you are saying, that it is subjective? We are very careful about what features we put in so we like to have a resource to go to without having to ask a...@twitter.com every single time - as it's absent from the links you provided is there such a resource? Or am I missing it? Thanks! ~Tammy On Mar 7, 6:55 pm, Matt Harris wrote: > Hi to you both: > > Ken: The API should be rejecting the duplicates.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Recurring Tweets
sorry but im new at this and i havnt seen any response please help me on how it works thank you sheri From: Ken D. To: Twitter Development Talk Sent: Mon, March 7, 2011 12:23:42 PM Subject: [twitter-dev] Re: Recurring Tweets 1537, I'm not sure you're going to get an official response since the twitter team will be wanting to prevent abuse. Basically I was talking about two or more consecutive tweets with char- for-char the same content. But I believe the guidelines referred to above warn that near-identical tweets too, if repeated too soon or too often, could be caught by an anti-spam algorithm. And even if some perfect formula allowed such tweets to get through, they could be viewed as spam. More and more I see the same messages repeated after a few hours or the next day. I'm free to unfollow or reply, but basically I think it means I am spending too much time on Twitter...

Hi to you both: Ken: The API should be rejecting the duplicates. Do you have an example where the duplicate is being allowed through? Tammy: The guidelines for automated Tweets can be found on our support site. Some helpful resources are: http://support.twitter.com/articles/18311-the-twitter-rules which links to our Automated Rules and Best Practices: http://support.twitter.com/entries/76915 If you have any specific queries about policy and whether what you plan to do is allowed or not please contact our policy team.

[twitter-dev] Re: Recurring Tweets
Similarly, I have noticed that an exact duplicate tweet is no longer systematically rejected. Our CMS was set up to tweet new content items when they are first viewed by a visitor. If two visitors view the same new item at nearly the same time, two tweets are sent. Until recently, one would be rejected. Now, both are published and we have to delete the duplicate to avoid looking stupid. This behaviour seems to have changed 1-2 months ago.
