For example, let's say I have a sports list: http://twitter.com/#/list/leonspencer/sports I add userA that tweets about sports. But userA also tweets about food. And being a friend, userA will tweet about personal stuff. If a user tweets about sports, dining, and personal stuff, ALL of these tweets are shown under the sports list as well as my timeline. Furthermore, if I create a second list for food/dining and add userA, ALL of the tweets regardless of food or sports will display under both lists. So what would be great is for Twitter to allow the optional specification of one or more hashtags when associating an account with a list, which would indicate tweets from that account should only appear under this list IF these hashtags are part of the tweet.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Lists Need Optional Hashtag binding with list subscription
JDG, I appreciate your response. That works if your trying to develop your on separate client/dusplay e.g. TweetDeck. But that doesn't help with updating the list displayed in Twitter. This more of a Twitter.com issue than a Twitter API issue. But I posted here anyway in hopes development would pickup on it. As it stands right now, the Twitter.com lists display is cluttered. We're just moving the clutter from timeline to the multiple lists. And when Twitter API developers go to query these lists from Twitter API, the results don't tell you much about the tweets in the list. Like you said, we'll have to use hashtags and scan the list results.

Cool. Don't get me wrong. I think the lists are great for indirectly following people. I don't know how this impacts follower limits given on Twitter.com you don't have to follow someone to add them to one of your lists. And like you I don't use list to follow people. I mainly use them to free-up the friends timeline and group specialized tweets.

[twitter-dev] Re: Check when a friendship was created
And I thank that is a reasonable expectation. Just make sure you're not unfollowing hundreds of people per day or something so it doesn't raise Twitter red flag. Instead maintain a list of inactive followers and slowing remove them and/or temporarily block them. Even looking at my personal Twitter account, only connected with a few hundred, I too want to stop following folks that are active OR at least have them NOT count against my following limit. Makes no sense to do so. And it would be great to detect these folks.

[twitter-dev] Re: What is included In the Queries are limited 140 URL encoded characters. restriction?
Thank you for your response. I'll run the lines to look at this further. The
confusion is as whether Query string refers to HTTP query string (? until
end) or the Twitter API query (?q=value) value w/operators and parameters?
Usage Notes:
* Query strings should be URL encoded.
* Queries are limited 140 URL encoded characters.
When I check this against the Advanced Search Tool, it wasn't clear what was
being included. And the tools seems to be somewhat buggy.

Subject: [twitter-dev] Re: What is included In the Queries are limited 140 URL

I am not sure I understand the confusion, the API is 140 characters exactly in
the query string. You can run this, don't run it often, or put a sleep 1; in
the loop if you do.
#!/bin/bash
# This script assumes you pre url encode your data.
# Request url
URL=http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=;;
for (( i = 1; i 200; i++ )); do
# Current position/length
echo Query Length: $i;
# Shove on another character
j=$j'A'
# The url we are about to poke
echo $URL$j
RESULT=$( curl -o /dev/null -s -w %{http_code} %{size_request} {$URL$j} )
# Show http_code
http_code=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $1}'`
echo http_code: $http_code
# Show size_request
size_request=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $2}'`
echo size_request: $size_request \(Sent bytes\)
echo
done
Here is a snip of the results, from the first, to the last bits around 140,
right when you hit 141, it goes from http 200, to http 403. Though this script
should make it rather easy to test what happens with url encoded characters. I
do not think it matters, each character is a character, so if it is a space,
that will get url encoded into %20 taking up three characters.
