Hi Everyone,
I would very much appreciate the groups help on this. I work for a
local city government in Florida and we are trying to look into using
Twitter to help make government more transparent and engaged with our
community. BUT I need very technical information on how messaging is
handled in twitter, to understand what needs to be retained for Public
Records laws.
1. Senerio set-up: User2 is "replying" to User1. When User2 replies to
User1 using the message {...@user1 thats a great idea} is there any
message sent (similar to how email is sent) where the message actually
travels to User1?
-or-
Does User1's twitter program search User2's twitter posting looking
for @User1 and then if found directs User1 to User2's content? Similar
to a search engine where it (twitter) would run a search finding the
content @User1 and then saying "Here is a reply go here or get it from
here".
--- To get into it further if I reply to @noname and noname isnt a
valid acount/ it doesnt exist. Does that message get transmitted
anywhere.
Lets start with that as its confusing enough. Basicly if a message is
transmitted to a government on twitter they are public record and need
to be retained.
