This new feature can be great, especialy if you provide some free analytics about clicks, retweets count in the way bit.ly does (R.I.P. :D). But you said : we're trying to protect users against phishing and other malicious attacks I'm wondering how you can do that : expand all urls and follow

According to the API guys, send them to Twitter.com. For some reason they don't want us to have an API that allows us to accept or reject friend requests On Jun 10, 10:02 am, twittme_mobi nlupa...@googlemail.com wrote: Hello, it seems like i can get a list of everyone that want's to follow me

[twitter-dev] T.co and Privacy Policies

2010-06-10 Thread Dewald Pretorius
Initially I did not see a privacy issue with t.co But, having thought more about Twitter forcing us to use the t.co link as the first-hop destination, I believe there are some potential privacy issues that need to be clarified. 1) Normally you need to specify in your service or product's

Hi James, We haven't pulled the feature but I did notice the URL you've given is using the wrong domain. For API requests to Twitter you want to be using the http://api.twitter.com domain, which would make your request: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?include_entities=true

While it's true that some details are still being worked out, the following is the intention: a) You post the link http://f.ws/tco within a tweet b) Within the published, text component of the tweet, you'll see the t.coURL c) within the entities of the tweet, you'll see your http://f.ws/tco link

Hi Taylor, So is it correct to assume that my users will no longer be able to advertise their webpage links through a direct appearance of that link in their tweets (i.e. http://www.mygreatwebsite.com), because this new initiative will always obfuscate the link within a t.co wrapper? In fact, is

There's no good way to handle it right now, the tweets that cause the issue act as a poison on the result set you are retrieving once entities are enabled. Best to just wait out for the fix. On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 9:45 AM, Rich rhyl...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Taylor, I discovered it possibly

Hi Socca1157, You don't need to acquire an access token for each action you want to perform -- once you've received an access token, you'll want to store the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret for later use. If it's possible on WebOS to use HTTP headers instead of the POST body or GET/query
