[twitter-dev] Re: Refresh page via the API
Hi, The desktop application I'm working on is used to customize your Twitter page. Therefore, any changes you make in the app can be seen in your Twitter page. However, at the moment, everytime the user makes a change, they have to open the browser and refresh. I thought it would be nicer to simply show the changes in real time without the updating.

Host a webpage in your desktop app for those purposes. --ab On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 7:36 PM, P L homerthesimp...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, The desktop application I'm working on is used to customize your Twitter page.

If this was a web application, would there be another way of doing this? Or would the web application also have to host the page in an iFrame or something?
