[twitter-dev] Re: Paging for friends/ids
This is reported as a bug here: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=613 Definitely is a bug if their docs are correct. statuses/followers works as expected using the page parameter.

[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API: Spritzer-stream coverage
How are spritzer statuses sampled? Are they picked uniformly at random? Or is there some logic behind it? Also, what makes it statistically insignificant? Is it its percentage in relation to the entire stream or the way it is sampled?

[twitter-dev] Re: geocode doesnt include non-geocoded locations? (web)
Yeah - what Chris said.. I'm trying to geo-plot location.. but because twitter lets users enter anything for location - people enter a lot of rubbish sometimes... Makes it a bit interesting when you are trying to geo-plot! Does anyone know if there is a twitter feature request raised to force the user to enter a proper location? or one that give me a users location based on an IP-range.. ? Maybe we should raise one?...

We are working on a method to automate the handling requests to /gardenhose at the moment which should be deployed shortly. There is an open issue [1] for public_timeline and datamining feed trouble, but as you can tell it is not a priority given that /spritzer has open access, has been rock solid, and gives more data than the 600 tweet per minute available with a working datamining feed.

[twitter-dev] Is the spritzer supposed to be as fast as the datamining feed?
Hello: In an answer to a different question in this group, Doug said that the spritzer was supposed to be as fast as the datamining feed. Is that right? We only get 5.3 msg/sec on avg. for the spritzer. If this is right, then we are only getting half the speed we should be ... and I will have to debug our code. We get 18.7 msg/sec avg. on the gardenhose, so I thought everything was right/okay. Can others state their rates for these two streams? Thanks
[twitter-dev] how are people collecting spritzer/gardenhose?
spritzer is great! well done folks. I'm wondering how other people are collecting the data. I'm saving the json-per-line raw output to a flatfile, just using a restarting curl, then processing later. Something as simple as this seems to work for me: while true; do date; echo starting curl curl -s -u user:pass http://stream.twitter.com/spritzer.json tweets.$(date --iso) sleep 1 done | tee curl.log ... and also, to force file rotation once in a while: while true; do date; echo forcing curl restart killall curl sleep $((60*60*5)) done | tee kill.log anyone else? -Brendan

looking at the tweet ids it looks like the spitzer stream delivers 5 tweets every hundreds this would make it a 5% of the firehose am i correct?
