[twitter-dev] Goodbye list!
Guys, for the last several months I hardly did any work on my app, or any twitter-related development work for that matter. I'm going to put the project I was working on ( http://pavo.me a j2me twitter client ), on hold and unsubscribe from the list. I can opensource PavoMe, if there is interest (if so, please drop me a line). Thanks for the support and best of luck to all of you!

[twitter-dev] Looking for advice
Hi Guys, just looking for some advice here. For the last half-a-year or so, I've been working on free J2ME Twitter client called PavoMe. It's targeting non-smartfone mobiles such as a less expensive Nokias, SonyEricssons and so on. I'm relatively happy with it and users seem to like it too. However, I find myself running out of steam. I'm sure it wouldn't do any good to a project it I stop adding new features to it, so I'm thinking if I should find a partner who could invest some time in it, grow the user base further and attempt to commercialize it? If so, would anyone be interested? Or perhaps, I should opensource it? It's an interesting mix of tech, with client-side J2ME and server side written in Erlang. Though, I don't think there are many developers interested in J2ME anymore, and not too many Erlang developers yet. So what do you think? http://pavo.me http://tdash.org/stats/client/75 Regards, Anton -- To unsubscribe, reply using remove me as the subject.

Re: [twitter-dev] Introduce yourself!
Hi Guys, @ak1394 Anton Krasovsky, Dublin, Ireland. Author of PavoMe (twitter client for java mobiles). I've been working with twitter for about half a year, and my efforts are split between working on client application and backend server (which handles all communication between handset and Twitter servers, and is written in Erlang). So far the only twitter opensource released by me was an Erlang client library. I don't think anyone except me actually uses it. I'm looking forward to see xAuth avaiable - few users in China will appreciate not having to struggle with GFW to get their oauth tokens. http://github.com/ak1394/twerl http://pavo.me Regards, Anton On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 8:20 PM, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: We have not had an introductions thread in a long time (or ever that I could find) so I'm starting one.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Oauth connection and timestamp
Hi Fauzil, I guess you're the author of Twitblack? I'm another j2me developer here, the author of PavoMe. Unfortunately I can't give you much advice on j2me OAuth as I do most of that stuff on the server side. Few suggestions however: 1. The clock: why don't you try to get the exact time at the client startup, from say 'Date' header from any HTTP response from twitter server? Then you could establish the difference between phone time and server time, and then use the ajusted value when making the oauth calls? 2. Failing OAuth requests. Does that happen on the real device or in the emulator? If using emulator you can get the traffic log (in Nokia emulators) or you could use protocol analyzer like Wireshark http://www.wireshark.org/ if you're using WTK/SonyEricsson emulators.

There are two problems though: 1. User has to go throuh a website to perform the OAuth authorization. 2. There should be a way to establish the link between user's OAuth tokens saved on the server, and an app. For example a PIN code could be used. having server-side resources proxy all mobile twitter interaction: way, way to heavy for no real functional benefit (and also less fault tolerant). That depends on the platform the app is written for. It would be an overkill for iPhone or Android, but j2me? I think the Snaptu which currenlty is the biggest j2me client out threre does it exactly like this. Also, it the mobile app is doing OAuth itself, it has to be given the application token and secret with all the security implications of doing this.
