Since we cannot index old data via the public timeline or the data mining feed, we opened up a way for users to submit their timeline for indexing! This is plagued by the Username/Password situation, but as soon as OAuth is released or anything else, I will fully support it! :) Also, I have had two Twitter API requests, http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=180 and http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=183
The first one is regarding the missing "link" to the source, in the Data mining and public timeline APIs. The links seem to work fine in the user timeline. The second one is a request for 3 new fields to be added to the Firehose/timelines, I would like them because, currently I have to request Twitter again for user information like timezone, etc. that should be included in timeline's user field. I don't understand why followers_count was included but not updates_count or following_count? If you agree/like either of the requests, please star them so they get noticed :) Thanks, James Hartig
