http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%40twitterapi [1] - http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Search+API+Documentation [2] - http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40twitterapi Doug Williams Twitter API Support http://twitter.com/dougw On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 12:16 PM, Jeff Bishop <[email protected]> wrote: > > I would prefer to get them in a feed like the Twitter API provides (like in > a Status node).
