[twitter-dev] Re: Promoted Content: API Changes

2010-08-09 Thread scotth_uk
I Agree with Tom. Please explain more on how this will benefit end-
users and developers and not simply be a revenue stream for you.

Thanks.

 Hi Matt and other developers,

 If I understand correctly, Promoted Trends are advertisements, and they
 aren't necessarily trending topics. Basically what Twitter is trying to
 do here is let the desktop clients show Twitter's advertisements as
 well? Is there any benefit to the developers and/or the users for doing
 this?

 Correct me if I am completely wrong (wouldn't be the first time today)
 but Twitter is offering it's own advertisements to developers - I don't
 see why any developer would implement that.

  Hey Developers,

  As you might know, this year Twitter launched a suite of Twitter
  Promoted Products, including Promoted Tweets (http://blog.twitter.com/
  2010/04/hello-world.html) and Promoted Trends, which advertisers can
  use to deepen their engagement with Twitter users.

  To date, these products have been shown to users on Twitter.com. Over
  time, we plan to extend the products to ecosystem partners. Today, we
  made an update to one of our APIs that gets us closer to that
  objective.

  Clients using the API will see new fields related to promoted content
  in the response they get back from the /1/trends/current.json request
  and any local trends requests. These two new data points will show in
  the json response as events and promoted_content.

  We are still building the data points out and have more updates to
  make. Whilst that is happening, the two data points won't be able to
  return any useful content, and instead will have a value of 'null'.

  Over the next few months, we will begin beta testing with a handful of
  desktop applications. During this period, we aim to learn a lot, and
  we will apply those lessons when we expand distribution of Twitter
  Promoted Products to the broader ecosystem.

  We'll continue to keep you posted on other developments and changes as
  they happen.

  Best,
  Matt

 Hey Scott -

 If you've already linkified Twitter usernames yourself according to
 the pattern used by the @anywherelinkifyUsers() method (@a
 href=../a, then you can tell hovercards not to linkify as
 follows:

 twttr.anywhere(function (T) {
   T.hovercards({ linkify: false });

 });

 If your anchor elements include the @ symbol, and/or use a different
 class name, you can configure hovercards as follows:

 twttr.anywhere(function (T) {
   T(.YOUR_CLASS_NAME).hovercards({ infer: true });

 });

 For more, see the docs:http://dev.twitter.com/pages/anywhere_begin#hovercards

  Hi, been playing with the @anywherestuff, very excited about this!
  I know its still a work in progress and things may change, but is
  there a way to make hovercards() work as normal for onmouseover, but
  let my javascript handle the onclick event, rather than sending the
  user off to their twitter profile page?

  Currently if I link @screenname myself, hovercards() ignores it, so
  its one or the other.

  Cheers,

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter: What did you change in OAuth?

2009-07-28 Thread scotth_uk

It's quite funny I suppose, been using basic auth forever, last week
change over to OAuth...today, concidering going back, give a couple of
years to iron out the bugs and maybe try again.

I'm using Abraham Williams' PHP twitter OAuth library, I don't suppose
anyone has found a fix for this?
getting simply 'Invalid signature' is about as helpful as an unknown
error occurred

Cheers.

Twitter Status : ... Is adding feature to his app so it can switch
between OAuth and Basic for when OAuth breaks again.

:-)

Well, at least Basic auth's phase-out date has been pushed back
another year.
