The author of http://tweetback.holzhauer.it/ pinged me for his tweetback project and mentioned that http://mashable.com/2009/01/04/twitter-blog-design/ inspired him; http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/01/09/tweetbacks-plugin-for-wordpress/ does the same and I saw another one called chat catcher.
With everybody revamping their blog designs and the importance of twitter - may I suggest somebody looks into this before it is wide spread and lots of wordpress installs get black listed because they hammer the API, and consequently submit a lot of questions to support? This is a fail whale waiting to happen. My suggestion would be to address this issue maybe for the blog authors before they all start implementing this or at least urging tweetback developpers to put in mechanisms for throtteling, maybe having one article explaining a bit of the daily limitations an api can have. I assume blog integration will grow in importance and also bring back up the question if if twitter or not should decode the urls back again to ensure a more trackable web - it could be that the api delivers two results as message, one with the normal tweet and one with the complete decoded tweet. hth Nicole <http://tweetback.holzhauer.it/> ------ Using Twitter and having a blog?
