[twitter-dev] Re: Our own redirecting URL is being changed to a bit.ly URL
Hi, If it can be in any help, I have a kind of private url shortening service that I could adapt to your needs. www.fwd.li. I can't really design the page because I am blind (the reason why there is no logo). However it might come handy to have an url shortening api service designed individually for your apps. I currently support plain text and xml output. Cheers, Emrah P.s.: if someone is interested in making a logo, you're welcome. If someone else would like to carry on the dev, welcome as well. :) TjL wrote: On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 10:48 PM, Cameron Kaiser spec...@floodgap.com wrote: The best you can do is use the bit.ly API to un-shorten the link and grab your URL key from there. Have a look at the /expand method in their API: http://code.google.com/p/bitly-api/wiki/ApiDocumentation Or, implement your own URL shortening scheme (either internally, or using a specific service that meets your needs), with the assumption that the shortening will occur and at least this way you can control the situation under how the shortening is handled. I believe that Twitter will shorten links over 30 characters, but this does not *always* seem to be the case. Your best bet (IMO) is to determine which service you want to use and shorten the links yourself. I started putting together a list of them not too long ago and came up with these: bit.ly xrl.us tr.im snipr.com tinyarro.ws tinyurl.com icanhaz.com budurl.com There are, no doubt, others.

[twitter-dev] Yet another from my app related question
Hello Twitter developers, I hope I'm not duplicating my message... I sent it twice by Email but I got posting errors replied back by Google. I apologise in advance for this question. I read the notice on the welcome page and I hesitated before sending my Email but well. I really didn't find my answer anywhere. I am using CURL to post a status update. It means that I don't use OAuth and my authentication is Basic. However, I'd like to be able to post my update with the name of my application. Is this possible? Or do I inevitably need an instance of either PHP, Perl, Python or something similar... The current version of my app is only ment to be some kind of proof of concept. About my app: It is a small server side phone aplication that allows you to post voice clips as status update, using a regular phone, as long as the phone number used to dial in is linked to a Twitter account. My updates are public and you can see how it looks like on http://twitter.com/ekavun. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Emrah
