Re: [twitter-dev] Introducing Web Intents

2011-03-30 Thread Taylor Singletary 
While platform.twitter.com/widgets.js doesn't yet support HTTPS, you can
take the inline pop-up Javascript code featured near the bottom of the
documentation (the "Optimization" section) and store it on your own server
to support HTTPS -- with the added benefit of removing an
external dependency.

Javascript is not necessary to use Web Intents, it only makes the pop-up
code easier. Web Intents are also accessible from HTML alone.

Web Intents are mobile browser ready -- and the Tweet Button has also been
upgraded to also work in mobile contexts.

Another point I consider to be important, when will platform.twitter.com get 
HTTPS?

Scott.

Re: [twitter-dev] Introducing Web Intents

2011-03-30 Thread Tom van der Woerdt 
I wonder... Why is the script tag included in the example when the 3 
lines below it don't actually use javascript? Does the widgets.js code 
automatically transform the buttons? That would be a bad thing...


Besides that, I like it. I haven't checked yet, but is there a mobile 
version ready as well?

Developers, users, and journalists are finding more creative ways to 
use Tweets on the web to leverage the power of the network to spread 
news.  In the past it’s been difficult to make these Tweets 
interactive, requiring you to write an OAuth app simply to attach 
Reply, Retweet, and Favorite actions to Tweets.


Today we’re releasing a simple new addition to the API called Web 
Intents that makes it possible to make Tweets that you display on the 
web interactive.  Web Intents provide popup optimized flows for all 
the ways you interact with Tweets and users on Twitter: Tweet, Reply, 
Retweet, Favorite, and Follow.  The new tool makes it possible for 
users to interact with Twitter content in the context of your site, 
without leaving the page or having to authorize a new app just for the 
interaction.  Web intents are mobile friendly and easy to implement.


For example, here’s how you add Reply, Retweet, and Favorite links to 
a specific Tweet:


src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";>
href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?in_reply_to=51113028241989632";>Reply
href="http://twitter.com/intent/retweet?tweet_id=51113028241989632";>Retweet
href="http://twitter.com/intent/favorite?tweet_id=51113028241989632";>Favorite


Detailed documentation is available at 
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents


To see Web Intents in action check out Wordpress.com’s great tool for 
quoting Tweets in blog posts: Twitter Blackbird Pie 
.  Here's a 
post that uses their tool to quote @jack's Tweets about our 5 year 
anniversary . 
 We’ve also added these standard Tweet actions to our timeline widgets 
 that are used all over 
the web.


We’ve also updated the display guidelines 
 with some 
suggestions on how to make your Tweets actionable, and made the 
standard Reply, Retweet and Favorite icons available for download 
.
