I think this will be a great addition to the platform. I suppose it will be up to each software client to determine how (classic) retweets are handled. The annotations could be copied and edited. I assume new retweets will simply reference the original tweet and its annotations. On Fri, Apr 16,

Thanks for all of the info, Marcel. Cool stuff! How would people feel about a wiki for developers to share thoughts on how to use/standardize on annotations? That would give us a chance to flesh out some of the namespacing issues that have been raised so that we can hit the ground running when Ann

Been following the conversation; very interesting to see, even today, the devlopment of ideas around potential standards from the community of developers.

This is a great idea for how to bootstrap and fuel the adoption and consensus on namespaces and key names. I'm going to talk to our analytics team and see if we can surface analytics on the most used namespaces and those namespace's most used keys. On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Jaanus wrote:

Another 2c: you should think about publishing numbers/stats for annotations. Easiest to start on the level of namespaces. Publish stats about popularity of namespaces: how many tweets and how many users use which namespaces. And don't do "that's a good idea and there are still many moving parts and

Raffi, It's not about people using or not using rogue apps. It's about rogue apps poisoning the annotation data and ruining it for everybody. Rogue apps can continue to refresh their consumer keys with new accounts and OAuth app registrations, as soon as the one currently in use is suspended. Me
