Hear! Hear! And I might add that there is also a golden opportunity for
Natural Language Processing to make tweet text into metadata for the
"rest of the web". What was that line about even mighty armies being
unable to resist an idea whose time has come?

And if the Dalai Lama is on Twitter, why isn't Hu Jintao? ;-)

[twitter-dev] Anybody else seeing "Unable to locate you. Try again" ??

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

On my Linux (openSUSE 11.2 with some of the advanced repositories) the
message "Unable to locate you. Try again" is showing up, and my tweets
aren't getting geotagged. Firefox 3.6.3, Google Chrome 5.0.375.9 dev and
Seamonkey 2.0.4 all do this, and it happens for both wired and wireless
connections.

I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the Linux stack beneath the browser -
the one time I booted one machine up in Windows, it worked in Firefox
3.6.3 with a wireless connection. And it used to work on Linux with
Firefox. I haven't tried any other distros or rolling back to Firefox
3.5. I might try a Lucid Lynx LiveCD just to see what happens, but I'd
rather get openSUSE to work, since I'm not planning to switch distros
just to get my tweets tagged. ;-)

Is anyone else seeing this? The Firefox demo at
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/#geo-demo works!
Anything else I should be looking at? I can grab Wireshark traces but
don't know what to look for.

I think there are amazing opportunities in Twitter's new annotation
feature.

I am awestruck by the potential of developers applying Linked Data /
Semantic Web schema and using RDF in Twitter annotations. It would
massively scale search effectiveness and distribution opportunities
while allowing sophisticated on-the-fly analysis of Twitter's firehose
& other feeds.

The Twitter ecosystem is particularly suited to applying principles of
the Semantic Web in that machine interpolated meaning could be
continually refined the more humans tweet & retweet about the same and
related topics (resolved by semantic entity detection; coupled with
author, location, hashes, platform, temporal and other information.

Do you know if those of us making small uses of the API (for example,
most of our site runs off of the API, but we aren't an application in
the sense that we perform actions on behalf of users via the API) have
to register at dev. to be able to avoid being automatically opted in
at some point?

Also, do you know how much agency we have in where promoted tweets
appear? (Is placement determined automatically by keywords in the
tweets, or are we allowed to pick? Likewise, are we penalized (as per
AdWords) for electing to appear for a search or keyword if an
algorithm can't see it's relevance, or will the up/down system be
entirely based on how users respond to what we've elected to promote?)

Our primary interest here is that we might be able to use the system
to promote the work of the writers we publish, but literature isn't
really a keyword-dense affair. A poem doesn't say it's a poem, for
example--it just is one--so if we promoted a "poem" we'd want it to
appear under searches for "poems" rather than searches for "apples"
just because it has the word apples in it.

[twitter-dev] RDF - Linked Data - Semantic Web

[R_Macdonald]

I think there are amazing opportunities in Twitter's new annotation
feature.

I thought I would share some brief thoughts that might be of interest.

The schema of LinkedData RDF, underpinnings of the emerging Semantic
Web, provide a sound basis of the sorts of format & protocol standards
necessary for the APIs you are proposing.

The vision of Semantic Web is occasionally dismissed as long on dream
and short on practice.  However, early implementations are gaining
significant traction and offering substantive value to early
adopters.  Thompson Reuters, no slouch in the business of information,
was quite visionary in acquiring the now @OpenCalais service.  The
mostly free service is currently identifying semantic entities in over
5 million documents submitted to it per day.  @zemanta is also finding
a significant user base among bloggers for its related services.

I am awestruck by the potential of developers applying Linked Data /
Semantic Web schema and using RDF in Twitter annotations. It would
massively scale search effectiveness and distribution opportunities
while allowing sophisticated on-the-fly analysis of Twitter's firehose
& other feeds.

The Twitter ecosystem is particularly suited to applying principles of
the Semantic Web in that machine interpolated meaning could be
continually refined the more humans tweet & retweet about the same and
related topics; coupled with author, location, hashes, platform, and
temporal information.

Twitter annotations may well be a turning point in the early practical
application of Tim Berners-Lee’s 1999 “dream for the Web [in which
computers] become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web – the

So, in a nutshell, this would be useful for Apps such as Seemic/

Access Tokens. From that moment, you may use oAuth methods to update

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: oAuth - xAuth

[Abraham Williams]

Keep in mind that xAuth usage is restricted and not available for web
applications.

Access tokens work the same whether they are acquired using using using the
standard OAuth flow of getting a request token, sending the user to
Twitter.com, and exchanging the request token for an access token or the
xAuth flow of directly exchanging password for access token.

XAuth works by passing a users screen_name and password directly to the
access_token endpoint without an accompanying request token.

Thank you Abraham. I would also like to know if I'm right here:
imagine a "signin with twitter" + register website for a twitterfeed-
like App. Basically xAuth needs the user credentials to ask
http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token and retrieve the Access

still be able to use the previous oAuth methods (I'm using a java

[twitter-dev] Application for Whitelisting?

[KrushRadio - Doc]

Hey all

I have tied twitter to my YP server for my 3 radio stations... The
problem is, Between the 3 stations, i could probably blow past the 200
tweets/request an hour between the 3 stations from the 1 IP address,
as well as having the player client reading from a search.  How would
i go about getting this application whitelisted.

Currently, it's only running off of the 'API' tag until i find a way
to fix it and register the app from the code side.  I do have 2
applications that are setup under my username tho (DocNasty).

Thanks guys.  Can't wait to start integrating internet radio with
twitter in a new and exciting way... more to come once i get past this
hurdle.

Marcel,

Please take a look at this blog post which covers the issue of 
Structured Data [1].


At the end of the day, every Tweet is a uniquely identifiable data 
object (entity). Annotations ultimately come down to making simple 
statements about the attributes of a Tweet, thus the 
Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) works here as it does everywhere else re. 
data representation flexibility (XML, JSON, and other data 
representation formats).


Links:

1. http://bit.ly/cA0zxw -- Data 3.0 Manifesto (all about Structured Data 
and the EAV Model)
2. http://semantictwitter.appspot.com/ -- an example of compact EAV 
style 3-tuple approach to annotations

[twitter-dev] Re: Introduce yourself!

[KrushRadio - Doc]

Hi All (and @Abraham)

To quickly answer your initial 3.. .
My name is Dan Regalia..(@DocNasty) here on twitter.

I'm a software developer for trade.. nearing 40, i am proud to say
that i have spent 3/4 of my life programming computers.. from fortran
to quickbasic to any microsoft technology i can sink my teeth into..

As far as features that i'm looking for, I'm more interested in how
oAuth works, and seeing how far i can push twitter... I think as a
platform I need to evolve with it, and stick to what i know, which is
internet radio.  I'd rather be a solid user than a part time
developer.. once i run into a brick wall, i'll be back to bug you
here.

My goals/projects are as such:  I have a few applications on deck..
one is the kritter, which is a krushradio twitter application.  music
player and twitter app..
Then there is the yp server, which is fed from the broadcast server
and tweets whats playing from the stations.  Phase 1 was completed
last night, phase 2 which is about 60% will pick out artists names,
and check them against the database and if there is a twitter for that
band, it will show the band twitter and the song name.. which will
give the artist the ability to see when their songs are being played..
and where..

Kind of a nifty and unique concept.

Anyways, thats me.

~Doc

[twitter-dev] Re: @Anywhere + Access Tokens

[mike]

Sort of wondering the same thing.  After authenticating, you'll notice
your browser stores a cookie called twtter_anywhere, which I believe
contains the request token.

Would love to be able to use that request token to make Twitter API
calls, but have no idea how to get the token secret.

Thanks in advance.

[twitter-dev] @Anywhere stuck with read-only access

[AlbertEin]

Hi, i registered my website with @Anywhere, but i tried it before
giving the app read-write access as seen here:
http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/5c96366e2362fe85#

So, the results is that every new user on my site who connects with
@Anywhere gets read-write access, but every other user who tried it
before i configured the app to get read-write access is stuck win read-
only.

There doesn't seem to be any way to get my account to grant read-write
access to the app, there sould be a setting for that on
http://twitter.com/settings/connections

[twitter-dev] Customization

[Yarcom]

I have installed @anywhere on my site and it's great. The problem is
that I can't seem to figure out how I customize the colors of the
elements. For example I would like to customize the colors of the
tweet box and maybe even switch the tweet button's graphic, since it
just doesn't look right on the page. Also is there anyway to customize
the hovercard colors?

Is what I am asking even possible?

Re: [twitter-dev] oAuth - xAuth

XAuth adds a method for exchanging credentials to the existing OAuth
methods. Without Oauth xAuth would not work so no.

[twitter-dev] Override Twitter application callback URL using CreateRequest().Authentication.GetAuthorizationUrl (or other mechanism)

[Rich]

Windows 7 (64-bit), VS2008SP1, .NET3.5, C#, Windows Azure, TweetSharp
1.0

I have a Twitter application with a Callback URL: http://twitterlocal.com/
Mydefault.aspx

This will do just fine for some of my use cases. On other occasions
however, I want to call back to a different page.

I tried the following, expecting that after the user entered their
Twitter credentials that Twitter would return to “Myspecial.aspx”, but
it instead returned to Mydefault.aspx  –

String callback = “http://twitterlocal.com/Myspecial.aspx
var authorizeUrl =
FluentTwitter.CreateRequest().Authentication.GetAuthorizationUrl(request.Token,
callback);
Response.Redirect(authorizeUrl);

Is a something else I should be doing, or is there another approach I
should be taking?

Now, I would like to know how do I get the Access Token and the Token
Secret with @Anywhere. I've successfully made the "signin with

I'm also always seeing next_cursor=0 both using twitter4j and curl.

its definitely something we're thinking about - but that's going to be after
we get them on status objects.  status objects are easier as they will be
immutable -- user objects will need mutable annotations.

[twitter-dev] Any chance of annotations for user objects?

[Josh Bleecher Snyder]

I know you guys have plenty on your plates, just curious if it was on
the roadmap. :)

Sample use case (one I particularly want): Tweetie on my phone and
Tweetie on my laptop could easily stay synced about where in my tweet
stream I have read to. Other features like saved searches and lists
could easily have begun life as user annotations. Generally lots of
client data (prefs, settings, state) could be stored where it belongs,
in the cloud, making it less transient, easier to
migrate/sync/import/share, etc.

Really excited about annotations -- thanks!

[twitter-dev] GET list memberships paging is broken?

[Dan Checkoway]

When using the "GET list memberships" API (
http://api.twitter.com/1/twitterapi/lists/memberships.*), it looks like
paging is broken.  If the user is a member of >20 lists, you can never see
anything beyond the first 20.  I'm passing cursor=-1 (well, twitter4j is) on
the first request, and I get back the first page of 20 lists, which is
fine...but no matter what, I always get back:

"next_cursor":0, "previous_cursor":0, "next_cursor_str":"0",
"previous_cursor_str":"0"

...which prevents any paging beyond that first page of 20.  This is the case
no matter which user I've tried.

What seems coincidental is that even on the twitter web site proper, only
the first page of 20 is presented as well, with no way to page beyond
that...for example:  http://twitter.com/GamePro/lists/memberships  I'm not
sure if that's a related issue, or an intentional thing that has also
affected the API, or what.

Anyway, can twitter please fix paging on the "GET list memberships" API?

Thanks,
Dan Checkoway

We at Technorious have developed a wordpress plugin for our blog which
we would like to share with everyone. The plugin currently only
supports Twitter Anywhere.
It gives you full control on where and how to display the linkify
links, hovercards or followbuttons.

We are working on adding Twitter Connect feature to it.

You can get the current version of the plugin from:
http://technorious.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-twitter-connect

The plugin is still not on wordpress.org we are waiting to hear from
wordpress.org

Feedback is more then welcome.

Thanks,
Hameedullah Khan

[twitter-dev] @anywhere user login example broken

[Hameedullah Khan]

Hello Anywhere,

Thanks for the hardwork, I know you guys might be under a lot of
pressure, just wanted to let you know that there is a broken example
at: http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere/begin#login-signup

I am referring to the conditional connect button example.

I was able to get it working as following:

 twttr.anywhere(onAnywhereLoad);
 function onAnywhereLoad(twitter) {
  // Conditionally display the Connect Button based on
current logged in state:
  if (twitter.isConnected()) {
twitter.User.current(function(currentUser) {
  screenName =
currentUser.data('screen_name');
  profileImage =
currentUser.data('profile_image_url');
  profileImageTag = "";
  $('#twitter-connect-
placeholder').html("Logged in as " + profileImageTag + " " +
screenName);
});
  } else {
   twitter("#twitter-connect-
placeholder").connectButton();
 };
};


I hope you will get it fixed on examples page so the new users won't
waste their time finding out why it isn't working for them.

Thanks,
Hameedullah Khan.

[twitter-dev] Chirp

[Rajinder Yadav]

Just want to say BIG thanks to everyone at Twitter for hosting Chirp;
Thanks to the organizers, co-founders, Team Twitter and the many
volunteers. Most of all I am grateful to Twitter for making it
affordable for individuals like me to be able to attend. Chirp was a
blast. Also first time in SF, great people, fun city to explore and
visit. Will be back to visit again and look forward to another Chirp
event in the future.

Really happy to score pictures with Ryan and Evan, was worth the trip
just for that alone!!! Still need one with Biz and Dick, next time!

Thanks Twitter =)

[twitter-dev] Re: Read only @anywhere application bug fix

[Dustin Diaz]

Albert,
No. This issue addresses the fact that "write" operations were not
allowed. Thus for example, clicking following would throw a "401 -
permission denied" — However other "read" widgets, such as hovercards,
would continue to work until you attempt to follow.

[twitter-dev] @Anywhere JavaScript API Mentions Error

[bjhenry]

I'm using the @Anywhere API preview.  This code:

twttr.anywhere(function(T) {
T.User.current(function(){
console.log('T.User.current');
}).mentions(function(){
console.log('T.User.mentions.dms');
}).each(function(){
console.log('T.User.mentions.dms.each');
});
});

Is throwing an exception in api.bundle.js with the error message: E is
not a constructor

Environment is FireFox 3.6.3 in Windows.  I also receive the Error in
IE8 and Safair 4 on Windows.
