Hi gals & guys, I'm Aral Balkan and I'm an interaction designer and iPhone/Flash/Web developer. I just launched my second iPhone app called Feathers (decorate your tweets). It's Twitter client for posting fun updates – in different text styles, including upside-down, and even Morse code (the 1.1 update brings 1337 text too) & using Unicode symbols:
http://feathersapp.com I started playing with the Twitter API back in the Flash days, where I added Twitter API support to SWX (the native data format for Flash I created; like JSON but data is stored in SWF bytecode). I'm not maintaining SWX any longer but it is still being used and you can find more info at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/SWX+Twitter+API and at http://swxformat.org Having contributed heavily to the Flash community over the last decade, I share some of Jon's concerns and would love to see the Twitter developer community scale well. I wasn't a big fan of the current oAuth policy (as it pertains to mobile & desktop apps) but I'm very interested in xAuth (see http://aralbalkan.com/3057) and support Twitter fully on it. I hope to implement xAuth in Feathers the moment I'm let in to the beta (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) :) I blog on http://aralbalkan.com I'm going to be attending Chirp and I look forward to meeting some of you there :) Take care, Aral On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 2:55 PM, Jonathan Markwell <[email protected]>wrote: > Great idea Abraham! > > I'm Jonathan Markwell I first experimented with the the API in in > Summer 2007 when I made our office Nabaztag Rabbit speak all the > tweets in my timeline (it wasn't long before it was thrown out the > window).
