i am working on the Twitter API. I am going to use C# for developing the application.
I found a more elaborated sample at http://linqtotwitter.codeplex.com for using twitter API.
i need to show all tweets(Updates) of all the registered users in the application.
I have the requirement to hide some of the updates of some users from the other users both in application and Twitter.
Please suggest a solution and also some of the good reference to follow.
Anything you place on Twitter is always visible to all users. The only way to 'hide' messages from the public is to send a direct message (DM) to other people.
The only way to prevent your Twitter messages from being public is to set your account "protected" (Settings/Account/"Protect my tweets" checkbox), which will prevent anyone from seeing your updates until/unless you specifically allow them to have visibility. This is, however, account-wide. Twitter does not provide any option to protect/unprotect individual messages. (Unless you count DMs, as already mentioned by Hilbrand, but that makes them one-to-one. There's no way to do a group DM.)
