Cool. Just keep in mind a lot of the .NET OAuth stuff, especially on the
Twitter side, is somewhat out of date or incomplete.

Re: [twitter-dev] Hard lesson learned

[Andrew Badera]

Miguel,

This 'lesson' has been 'learned' and re-learned many times over, here on the
Twitter dev list and on the oauth list. One would hope that at some point
this issue would rise to enough prominence to get people in charge of
implementation, and sig participants in general, to do something about it.
The common developer these days is not a super savvy geek, and even the
super savvy geeks among us waste time on this issue, again and again.

Sweet Shannon, I have my own implementation, but I'd love to see

John,

Though I've disagreed with Dean's use and means of promoting of his
app since Day One, I hardly think his message rises to the level of
"threat." I think there's enough misinformation, disinformation,
irritation and anger floating around this list these days that the
last thing anyone needs is gratuitous drama, particularly on behalf of
someone NOT employed by Twitter and NOT directly addressed by Dean's
communication and possible intent of said communication.

Re: [twitter-dev] Recommended ways to demultiplex the search stream with thousands of searches

[Andrew Badera]

I know it's not Web 2.0-cool, but I'm writing to SQL Server 2008
(Standard, x64) and using fulltext indexing/searching from there. On
production hardware, I hardly see any real impact as far as latency
goes, even on busy predicates. I can't imagine that the
lighter-weight/more efficient Lucene would have a significantly
perceivable impact.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is it OK to store token in Windows Registry?

[Andrew Badera]

I think if you use a strong key with AES/Rijndael, you can use a
machine datastore, or even just a secure file in your app directory.
Or encrypted DB fields if you're using a DB. You can put the key in
the machine cert store, or you can bury the key in your deployed
binary.

That will protect you against 95%+ of curious/mildly malicious users.
That other 5%, and otherwise more malicious users, are going to
require a hugely disproportionate amount of effort and/or money to be
invested if you intend to beat them. That group is going to include
the hardcore sorts capable of starving CPUs in order to flip bits in
private keys of RSA -- feel free to try to program around that sort of
person, but you're wasting effort in a case like this, IM(H)O™.

Re: [twitter-dev] Is it OK to store token in Windows Registry?

[Andrew Badera]

The Windows Registry is NOT "secure" -- it is at best "obscure."

Is it a good place to store information? Maybe. Matter of opinion.
Consider a secured machine datastore as well. However anyone with
physical access to the machine has everything they need to access
anything they want, given a little patience and tech skill.

Why do you need a "secure" location for a user token? It's just the
user who has access, right? Or are you referring to your application's
key, and not the user key? If so, there's really no good way to secure
that with current iterations of OAuth. The mechanism is fallible for
desktop apps. 2.0 may address some of that.

Freelancing/consulting since 1996, mix of consulting and fulltime
since 1998, including time at IBM, Xerox, Gannett, Xerox again, and
other less-familiar names ranging from raw startups to SMB to midsize
corps, generally in dev/engineering/lead roles. More recently, CTO of
two startups, one somewhat backburnered this past year with the
economy, one rather new, (months old) still stealth but crazy active
and approaching public beta.

More relevant perhaps, recently took on the role of Senior Client
Services Engineer for Apprenda Inc., a recently-funded (NEA) upstate
NY startup, and makers of SaaSGrid. Also responsible for engineering
three or four actively consumed, fairly mature APIs (with admittedly
relatively small userbases) over the past few years.

I've been on both sides of the API fence, provider and consumer. I've
seen great evangelism and great advocacy. I've also seen piss poor
planning resulting in piss poor results.

[Andrew Badera]

Taylor,

Your job title very much does matter. Any respectable public/"open"
API publisher needs to be concerned with the needs, wants and feelings
of their developer community. If you are part of Twitter's effort to
address this concern, then you need to be doing certain things. If you
are not, then you probably should not be labelled as doing these
things in order not to produce misleading expectations among
aforementioned developer community.

>From the sounds of things, you're somewhere between evangelist and
client services, but nowhere close to being in the ballpark of
developer advocate. I'm not saying you're not doing a good job, I'm
just saying you're not doing THAT job.

Unfortunately this just contributes to the idea that Twitter doesn't
care about the people who enabled its success, that it's grown too
big, too fast, to remember the little people, that it's all about the
big money and not at all about the community. I'm sure that's driven
in large part by Evil Investors, but somewhere at Twitter, someone
needs to take a stand and strike a balance. Apparently that's not you.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter4J 2.1.1 is out! - with Geo Methods support, improved Android compatibility and more..

[Andrew Badera]

Any chance your release announcements could be kept to the twitter4j list?
This is a general purpose list, not a java list, not a twitter4j list, and
your info is a bit noisy to the majority of us to whom it is 100%
irrelevant.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: RateLimit value look to be incorrect in 3G/Edge

[Andrew Badera]

Most GPRS/Edge/3G is proxied through a single IP at some point. It's
not as intrusive as it once was, but it was definitely very common 3-5
years ago, and nothing I've read or heard seems to indicate that has
changed.

I wouldn't jump on that and trumpet it quite so quickly. Chances are
now that it's a visible issue, they'll block it. Freedom of speech is
NOT twitter's first and foremost concern. They'll ban an account
that's borderline 1st amendment without a second thought, believe me.

Re: [twitter-dev] Best practice for personal alerts?

1) Look into whitelisting.
2) I don't know if this is a bug, or if it's on the roadmap for
getting fixed, but as of the other week, you were still able (unless
I'm crazy, I've been averaging <4 hours of sleep the past 6 weeks,
anything's possible) to send DMs to yourself, from yourself, via
approved OAuth apps. You could get user permission then use the user's
account to send their own account the notification DM.

The popovers are very awkward. The popups that use a pointer are much
more usable in my opinion.

We can't answer your question for you since we have no idea what
you're receiving. What does the streaming response look like that your
consumer is tripping over? Capture it in association with log events.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Tracking number of users for an OAuth app

[Andrew Badera]

Didn't previous conversations on similar topics leads to the concept
that every client needs its own key? And if so, how do you aggregate
stats on that?

If you give out a client with a single key, and you give away that
key, who is then responsible for the behavior of the application? Who
does Twitter contact when some douchenozzle starts sending spam or
injects a worm using your key? And how do you, the developer of the
app, then fix those problems, if everyone has your key, without
re-issuing a new key and invalidating all previous installs?

You should proxy your OAuth requests through a web app. Problems solved.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Need help with the streaming API syntax....specifically how to point to the track text file without using curl

[Andrew Badera]

You need a client returning incremental HTTP responses. I don't think
WebResponse does that. TcpClient definitely does, that's what I'm
using in C#.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A PubSubHubbub hub for Twitter

[Andrew Badera]

But how much simpler does it need to be? The streaming API is dead
simple. I implemented what seems to be a full client with delete,
limit and backoff in parts of two working days. Honestly I think it
took me longer to write a working PubSubHubbub subscriber client than
it did a Twitter Streaming API client.

It would be nice if the world was full of free data and universal
standards, but if it ain't broke, and it's already invested in, why
fix it?

Is Windows Firewall running? Try both explicit exceptions as well as
turning it entirely off. Also, what's your callback actually look

There are certainly valid use cases for automatic account creation,
but I have yet to see a valid mechanism for preventing spam using same

This almost feels Google Buzz API inspired :P

Andy Badera. Jackass tech consultant, .NET geek extraordinaire and
CTO. Take your pick on the priority of those three. Been working with
the Twitter API since November or December 2007. I wrote the first
.NET client posting simultaneously to both Pownce (whodat?) and
Twitter. (First .NET client for Pownce, period.)

Features? I could go on forever.

Re: [twitter-dev] Fail on Capture the Access Token in JS

[Andrew Badera]

A 401 often indicates a poorly-formed signature. I would take the
output of your JavaScript request and compare it visually with the
output of a good reference implementation, like Abraham's lib.
Sometimes it's hard to predict exactly what your output will look like
when trying to port across platforms/languages, even if the logic
appears correct.

Also, consider taking a dependency on a known good reference JS
implementation, like the one found on Google Code:

http://code.google.com/p/oauth/source/browse/#svn/code/javascript

Nice find, haven't heard of this elsewhere yet.

The Twitter Text libraries are certainly useful to know about.

I created a quick C# port of Matt's twitter-text-java to possibly
replace a tokenized URL parsing process I'm currently using in an app:

http://code.google.com/p/ntwittertext/

One or two of the URL regex pattern component patterns need some tweaking ...

Are you following the proper URL encoding? Basic .NET URLEncode
doesn't meet OAuth's encoding spec. I forget what it is offhand, but
they aren't 100% equivalent.

that could be read as "but it's ok to give your password to

Google groups does respect SPF records, so if you tighten that down in

You'll note:

1. That's Cameron's address.
2. Cameron is far from new here.
3. This is an old spoofing problem, many months old now, across Google
Groups. It's ridiculously easy to do, and overly difficult to manage.

I would point them to examples of other apps (local news spammers come
to mind) that have recently been blacklisted.

That aside, I for one am 100% opposed to giving anyone this sort of
tool. Not that certain other people on this list haven't already done

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: .NET Servers

[Andrew Badera]

Hey Shannon,

The application process can be expedited if the network partner knows
you and pushes it. If you want a referral to a reliable partner, hit
me up off-list.

This current project, we applied and got approved <48 hours.

I like the shared DB thought.

Re: [twitter-dev] .NET Servers

[Andrew Badera]

Good stuff Shannon, I was paying that much ($24.99) or more for shared
2003 hosting per month not too long ago.

Too bad the 2008, especially 64-bit, stuff is significantly steeper.
At that price point, in my mind it becomes worth the minor hassle for
a lot of people to go BizSpark or WebsiteSpark and get all the
Windows/.NET licensing and hosting benefits that come with the
essentially free registration. If you're producing a software product
that involves .NET in any fashion, you're pretty much a shoe-in.

Any chance GoGrid can bring that stuff down even further on the 2008
side? Or, if you are a *Spark partner, can they offer discounts
specifically for partners? I negotiated a fairly big colo deal
recently, and with BizSpark membership, we're not paying a monthly fee
for our 2008 x64 hosts, which seemed to be a pretty common thing among
hosting providers who endorse the *Spark programs.

Nothing new, this has been argued about/discussed before. Life is a

[twitter-dev] lists as anti-spam tools

[Andrew Badera]

Hi dev list,

Twitter: I'm now seeing bambibots and other spammers using lists as a
way to boost their network. Seems like an equally great opportunity to
pursue spammers back down those paths ... which you all are probably
already on top of ... but if not, please consider!

There seems to be a flood of bambibots with a (not very) blurry avatar
of someone brushing their teeth with a skin flute. Any chance Twitter

Were it me, I'd probably be asking RPX people, since Twitter has no

I've been hit with NDRs on this address numerous times recently. If
you could unsubscribe that address, it would be great.

User: if you're actually active on list, please use a reliable email

Yep. The email address is the only piece used to authenticate the
sender. SPF and similar is the only way to lock that down further
without losing the convenience of mailing to list.

It's easy enough to reproduce, try it yourself with SMTP (on some
other group like I did, not here ;).

It's spoofed spam FWIW ... Google Groups (and probably a lot of email
lists) provide little real authentication. Tightening up SPF records
seems to be a fix. (use -all)

[Andrew Badera]

So, is the message complete in the raw XML response but not after the
Java toCharacters() call?

What does the RAW XML response look like?

Reduce variables. Examine your inputs.

[twitter-dev] Re: Retrieving infomation from twitter search api

[Andrew Badera]

I've not seen this issue. Do you have a character encoding switch or
miss somewhere?

Also, doesn't asCharacters have some depth to it? Is there an overload
or property at play here?

"XMLEvent.asCharacters()

The asCharacters() method return a java.xml.stream.Characters object.
>From this object you can obtain the characters themselves, as well as
see if the characters are CDATA, white space, or ignorable white
space."
