I've been experimenting with tweet entities and they seem to work very well.
I did run across this tweet that did not display properly (when compared to a regex version): http://twitter.com/bcherry/status/22825663746 (From a twitter list) That returned these entities: {"urls":[{"indices":[36,70],"expanded_url":null,"url":"http:// lab.simurai.com/css/buttons"}],"hashtags":[],"user_mentions": [{"indices":[46,54],"screen_name":"simurai","name":"simurai","id": 6896972},{"indices":[88,97],"screen_name":"flyosity","name":"Mike Rundle \ue10d","id":10545}]} At first I thought I was interpreting the entities improperly (which is certainly possible) but then I noticed that the indices for the user_mention of the user simurai are within the indices of the url (which has that screen name in the url). Am I missing something or is this a bug? Also, I noticed that there is an expanded_url value that is always null. Any idea when will this be populated with the expanded url? -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk?hl=en
