I got some requests to post the query that I am using: here is the query : http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=19.017656%2C72.856178%2C15.0mi&rpp=25 Do correct me if I am not querying or using the API correctly. (Should have been my first question actually :) )
Also here is a sample of the output from my ruby script. It will give you an idea of the "stale" results that I am getting. The script was run at approximately 21:37 IST. As you can see, I'm getting tweets all the way back to 14:00 hours in the afternoon. I'm pretty sure there are more tweets for my location. I'm querying for tweets originating out of Mumbai, and by querying through twitter search I have noticed that there are at least 40-50 tweets posted every 2 minutes or so. Output follows: Date-Day-Hour-Minute-Tweet-User-Hashtags(csv, if any)- source of tweet (All date/time info below is in IST) 2009-11-28 Saturday 21 27 @Abhishek_Rai I too am huge fan of quizzing.. do let me kno if u find anythin interesting. ty Shakti_Shetty (Shakti Shetty) web 2009-11-28 Saturday 21 21 @surubhi hallow darlin, 'm fine doin great...how about u? dacku87 (darshan thacker) mobile web 2009-11-28 Saturday 20 40 powai mocha so full of people, smaloe conversations and music.. sumagambs (Sumit Singh Gambhir) web 2009-11-28 Saturday 20 25 @thetruboy idk we'll see.
