Kelly, I'm the maintainer of the TwitterVB project. Thanks for trying TwitterVB! Your best bet for getting help with the TwitterVb library is to post in the TwitterVB discussion forum at the following URL: http://twittervb.codeplex.com/Thread/List.aspx
To answer your question more specifically... 1. Call the UserTimeLine() method, using the TwitterParameters object to specify whose tweets you want to see and how many tweets you want to see. 2. Loop through the resulting List(Of TwitterStatus) and call the DeleteUpdate() method, massing in each Tweet ID that you wish to delete. Because the timelines do not reach back terribly far, it may not be possible to delete every ID that's older than one week. If that's what you want to accomplish, you may want to store the IDs of the tweets you post as you post them, along with the date. Then, you could just retrieve the appropriate IDs from that list. Hope this helps! --Duane On Dec 14, 7:48 pm, KellyP <kelly.pear...@ct.gov> wrote: > I guess I should have been more specific.
