[twitter-dev] Re: Following Churn: Specific guidance needed

2009-08-10 Thread whoiskb
what is troublesome about your post is that you highlight the possible favoritism that Twitter has. Could you provide some details on the number of followers your friends unfollowed when they got suspended, and what method they used to do the unfollow? It looks like Scoble unfollowed 106,000 peo

Abraham, I noticed you added this discussion into that issue, so hopefully that will keep adding some visibility to that issue. It seems like this is a pretty popular request that keeps coming up on this list, yet the issue has a status of "Won't Fix". Twitter dev team, is there anyway that you

I asked the same thing just a few days ago, I even created a suggestion ticket for it but the suggestion got closed: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=831#c0 I do think this needs to be addressed but it sounds like its not a priority. On Jul 20, 10:10 am, Jesse Stay wrote:

[twitter-dev] friends/ids Limits

2009-07-12 Thread whoiskb
Has anyone come up with a good number where a call to the social graph methods returns a 403? I have made calls that return over 30,000 ids, but I am curious what the limit is. Also, the general idea is that if you have someone that has a large following, you would then implement paging. Why is

I had a similar question last night and found this thread that offered some insight into the most efficient way to do something like this. Here is the thread that discusses the best approach to get details on all of the friends or followers of a user: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-develo

[twitter-dev] How long until Basic Auth support is dropped?

2009-06-25 Thread whoiskb
I am working on a new desktop client and I am currently weighing the options of using basic auth or Oauth. I like how basic auth keeps things simple for the user to register an account and since its a desktop app the credentials are stored on their machine. I am worried that oAuth is a bit confu
