[twitter-dev] /statuses/destroy error erroneously?

2009-08-21 Thread atebits
Calling /statuses/destroy (on a valid status ID) seems to return a 400 error with a Bad request. We could not delete that status for some reason.. ... but the status is successfully deleted. Bug?

2009-03-26 Thread atebits
I'm not saying OAuth is a panacea, but it is better than handing over   a password. That's the crux of it. It's not a panacea (the UX sucks, especially for iPhone apps), but the fact is it's only marginally better than handing over a password. I mentioned this in my blog post (linked above),

First of all I agree wholeheartedly with the philosophy of shifting control to users and Twitter. I disagree with the details of the implementation. (In particular using the browser as a crutch). Ah, but then your application would have the user's password. I can get the users password

[twitter-dev] Someone resurrected the Gigantor profile image bug

Is it my imagination, or are some profile images not being scaled down properly (again)? Example: http://twitter.com/stealing_second http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/109230522/twitter_normal.jpg - 466x371px... I'll also take this time to request some scrubbing of

I'd like to second this request. It'd be more than reasonable for the example above to count as 3 marks against the rate limit, the only difference would be that there's a single round-trip to the twitter servers rather than 3 (would save a bit of overhead on your end too). This makes a ton of

They should - I believe there was an issue at one point where profile images weren't being scaled down properly. It's fixed now, but old (broken) avatars remain broken. That user needs to re-upload their profile image. On Mar 1, 7:51 pm, Dave Briccetti da...@davebsoft.com wrote: This is odd.

Exactly. Changing the OS is a long way off if people want to use these technologies today. I agree completely, nothing is going to change overnight. What I would like to do is encourage all of us to look towards the future. Eventually, we can have our cake and eat it too (have something with

Not sure if pushing oAuth for desktop is actually a Good Thing (tm) or an exercise in purity for purity's sake, UX be damned. I think you hit the nail on the head. Sorry for that outburst before. I love you Twitter. I'm happy to jump through hoops on the client side and invent some new

Hey, Figured I should start using this group rather than bug people directly :). Question: know you guys deployed a fix for the gigantor avatar problem... will this fix existing avatars too? Or just newly uploaded ones? Getting more reports of crashes when Tweetie tries to decode humungo
