Hi Guys, I'm looking for a best practice for sending personal alerts directly via twitter!
I have an application where users can create a personal search profile (just like Google Alerts) and receive updates in their mailbox. A user will only receive one update a day (at max), but in most cases there will 1 or 2 updates a week. How can I add Twitter updates to this workflow? I thougth I could simply send a Update Message with an @reply from my company's twitter account. However I found out that a single twitter account can only send 1000 updates a day. When I do use Direct Messages I can only send 250 messages a day. The only workaround I see is to send the Updates to the user via the account of the user itself. "[username] @[username] Hi, [user] there is a update for your profile: [profilename]. Just check it out! http://bit.ly/............"; Do you have any comments on this, or maybe some tips to get my alerts on Twitter? Thanks! Ps, all alerts and updates are on request of the user. He has to validate his emailaccount (and in the future his twitter account) so there is no spam sending involved! To unsubscribe from this group, send email to twitter-development-talk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
