Hi folks, I'm Damon Cortesi (@dacort) and have been addicted to building Twitter apps for the past two years now. I wrote my first Twitter app in 2007. It was a perl script that downloaded your tweets and inserted them into an iWork Numbers template to graph your timeline and top replies[1]. That script eventually became TweetStats.com. Over the course of the past two years, I've probably built some 20-30 different Twitter apps - some released, some not. A couple of the other main ones I work on are TweepSearch.com, TwitterAvatar.appspot.com and rowfeeder.com.
I used to do security consulting full-time, mostly in the web app and payment card data security spaces. This whole Twitter app stuff was just a hobby that kept me up late on the weekends. After a stint last summer as a Twitter Entrepreneur in Residence at a VC up here in Seattle, I finally realized I wanted to build social media apps full- time and started a new company[2] to do so just last month. I'd love any features that let us access more data, specifically my full timeline would be awesome to be able to access again. :) Damon [1] http://dcortesi.com/2007/12/27/twitter-stats/ [2] http://untitledstartup.com On Feb 19, 12:20 pm, Abraham Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > We have not had an introductions thread in a long time (or ever that I could > find) so I'm starting one.
