Hello,
This would be useful to create celebrity leaderboard(s) in a game.
Is it possible to get this information via the API?

Hello,
Is there a library that does this with a nice user interface?
Amir
This would be a very useful addition to the API. You could use it in
an app that automatically deletes your bad tweets to reduce the number
of followers that unsubscribe.
For example, you could specify that if two followers unsubscribe soon
after you post a tweet, then delete that tweet.
You co

Hi,
I'm referring to public tweets here.
I don't want to get my app bot twitter account banned...
Amir
what if it's not obvious that the question is even coming from a
bot? is it still acceptable?

Hi,
I would like to have an app post public tweets to contact people (who
probably don't know anything about the app) who are likely to know
something specific.
For example, the app might do this to request information about the
"singularity".
Is that an acceptable use of the API?

Hi,
Why should a Web 2.0 site that has nothing to do with microblogging be
a twitter app?
Putting aside twitter's viral marketing potential, I will focus
instead on two key issues in Web 2.0 apps: (1) reducing spam/
inappropriate content; and (2) encouraging user contributions.

Hi,
Posting an advertisement without the permission of the user is wrong.
But what about a countdown? For example:
"Post my stats to twitter after 5 moves. [reset countdown without

Hi,
This would be useful since the search API allows you to specify a
language.

Hi,
Since OAuth is not available yet, I've been asking people to enter

Hi,
I'm thinking of building this service using the twitter API:

proud of
* you also submit a CAPTCHA to check whether someone looking at your

Hi,
I would like to be able to issue queries like this:
web 2.0 follows:techcrunch
This would identify tweets containing web 2.0 posted by people
following techcrunch.

Hi,
One could just have the user enter an assigned code into the bio/url
or even in a post (which would also help promote your service). Doing
so would allow the user to "claim" the twitter account and associate
it with his/her account in your service.
Unlike OAuth, this would even make future
