Re: Getting more from the source link on a tweet...

2008-10-24 Thread Phil

I'm not sure I follow. Forgive me, I'm relatively new at this sort of
thing.

I realize that Twitter has lots of irons in the fire...no doubt of
that. Would there be any interest in working on a more involved source
parameter? The result may lead to enhancing any monetization goals for
Twitter...I'm just sayin'. Thanks.

 Well, you could always examine the referrers that you get and see if
 they're coming from a tweet's permalink URL.

  That's it? Can you suggest some alternatives? For the sake of
  'development' isn't there more that can be discussed?

  Apologies, but we want to keep the source parameter links as simply
  static URLs to sites and products.

   Can get more from the source feature on a tweet for my API. Can that
   text be altered to perform a different function?

   Specifically, the source function currently allows a click through to
   the website. A function that is the same for any and all tweets
   originating from the API.

   Can the text/function be modified so that a click will take the user
   to a function on the website specifically related to that individual
   tweet, re: a rating function?

Yes, I'd thought as much.  I want to get some more feedback and then
I'll put it in place.

 This is good stuff. Would be great for the wiki as an intro piece.

 Hey all,

 We recognize that there's some confusion around the various ways you
 can get data from Twitter.  Particularly, we understand that a number
 of you are eager to have data pushed to you for your applications, and
 it's not clear what we'll be providing and what Gnip will be providing
 in terms of push solutions and high-volume data.  We tried to clarify
 all this in a blog post published this evening:
 http://dev.twitter.com/2008/10/we-got-data.html.

 Let me know if have any further questions.  Thanks!

friends_timeline 24 hours

2008-10-24 Thread TCI

The documentation for friends_timeline indicates that if you pass a
since parameter you get up to 24 hours back. I am getting nothing past
6 hours back, and it's working perfectly for those 6 hours...
Any hints?
