Put it into Session and put user_name into FormsAuthentciation FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(String.Concat("<em>", screen_name, "</em>"), true...

Hello all, I pass text from a POST variable from a form on my site to Twitter and I save this message on my own site. When I view the entry on my site it is absoultly fine. However, in some cases when there is an apostrophe in the message twitter updates the status of a user but escapes the apostrophes and this can be seen on the users ...
I have a Twitter app that works fantastic locally - it searches for keywords then for each user it grabs their info using Hpricot to parse the xml e.g. Hpricot(open("http://twitter.com/users/show/"+myuser+".xml")) Works fine locally but when I go love it fails.

I'm getting an AttributeError using rcrowley's django-twitterauth: http://github.com/rcrowley/django-twitterauth Looks like it occurs when the validate() method is called on the user object, which the user object does not have.

I'm trying to get that cool, ajax sliding bar that twitter has (its slightly transparent, white). I tried looking at the html/css, but it seems that they dynamically inject the various DOM layers. Does someone know how they implemented it? I really want to learn how to do this. ...
Hi folks, i'm wanting to allow my website to post (an authorised user) to twitter (eg. update status). How do websites do this? eg. TwitPic, etc? I know i had to authenticate at one point with the source website -> twitter -> my twitter account. It's just like how I log into SO -> using OpenId. Is this OAuth / the twitter's OAuth API...
On a news-site, the client wants me to implement a way to share a story (just a link, really) via Email, facebook and twitter. I could write some code for each sharing-method, but it seems very likely, that some sort of service or library would exist, that shares the current url to different services. Maybe even with some tracking on wh...

Is it just me or is it ridiculous that when retrieving users statuses, every single tweet also contains the full information about the user? So if I want to retrieve 200 tweets from a single user, I will get the user information (name, profile colours, description, etc.) duplicated 200 times! The user information per tweet is probably 15...

Hey there! I have a question about using Javacript to return search results from twitter. The idea is to use arrays, but we have not really covered them in class. Can anyone suggest how I might get started writing these functions? Below is the template we are supposed to use: /* This function takes an array of "tweets" and conve...
Any suggestions for a good twitter library (preferably in Ruby or Python)? I have a list of usernames, and I need to be able to programmatically follow these users. I tried twitter4r in Ruby, but finding users doesn't seem to work. When I do twitter = Twitter::Client.new(:login => 'mylogin', :password => 'mypassword') user = Twitter::...
