Re: [twitter-dev] What exactly does the follow parameter to friendships/create do?
Thanks Zach and Josh. Sure enough, it was a stupid question. :) Definitely seems like adding more color to the docs would be a good idea. -josh On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 12:03 AM, Josh Roesslein jroessl...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Josh, Notifications when enable will cause tweets from the followed user to be sent to the authenticated user's device.

[twitter-dev] Help with getting started
Hi, I have a website with a product listing. I would like to tweet about each new product added to the site that all the followers can get an update. The site is written in rails. Is there any plugin available out there which will allow me to tweet to my own account?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
the geotagging API has only launched a few weeks ago, and there are only a limited number of clients that can use it. couple that with the fact that search does not return all the tweets and does disgard some tweets, you will have a low probability of finding a geotagged tweet - especially once you go to searching such a massive radius.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
that all being said, we will have some additions to other APIs that should make this easier -- we'll be announcing them soon.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Rate Limit Whitelisting Change
Depends on on your server setup. You might have different IPs depending on weither the request is incoming or outgoing. A sure fire way to check though is to compare them.

[twitter-dev] Direct message Ids
Hi,
Are the DM ids unique within {DMs + Tweets} set or only in the {DM} set?
In other words, if I am storing a collection of DMs and Tweets in a DB, can
I index it safely using DM.id and Tweet.id ?
thanks,
