I'm trying to create a simple interface to automate the creation of a flash twitter badge for a WordPress theme. My question is this, on the twitter page which has a simple color customizer, the standard hex color codes are getting translated to something to be passed to the flash as a variable. Can anyone shed any light on what that c...
i'm working on a regex that will extract retweet keywords and user names from tweets. here's an example, with a rather terrible regex to do the job: tweet='foobar RT@one, @two: @three barfoo' m=re.search(r'(RT|retweet|from|via)\b\W*@(\w+)\b\W*@(\w+)\b\W*@(\w+)\b\W*',tweet) m.groups() ('RT', 'one', 'two', 'three') what i'd like is to c...

Let's imagine app which is not just another way to post tweets, but something like aggregator and need to store/have access to tweets posted throught. Since twitter added a limit for API calls, app should/may use some cache, then it should periodically check if tweet was not deleted etc. How do you manage limits? How do you think goo...
Is it possible to use Twitter's API to grab search results? For example, if I wanted my page to show all tweets (man I hate that term) with the word "cat" in it? Is it also possible to get just the matching results that were after a certain date? ...
I would like to remove the item.description part of a twitter feed within yahoo pipes and I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Obviously the filter module will remove posts with that item so I've been trying to use Regex. I think clearing the item.description field would work well enough. Is there a Regex expression that would repla...

For example, if I want to post a new status update, I am sending a HTTP POST request to https://twitter.com/statuses/update.json with the following parameters - status=Testing&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_token=xxx& oauth_nonce=xxx&o...
We are creating an open source Twitter client and are looking for an embedded DB with the smallest footprint possible that works with Delphi and that lends itself well to full text search (I know that doesn't go with small footprint very well). Ideally it should be free or open source too (demanding I know). I am leaning toward SQLite...
Twitter provides a free API to post small text messages to the Web. TwitPic provides a free API to post small pictures to the Web. Is there anything for sounds, these sounds would be small less than 12 seconds, and could be saved to needed format. It would be great if the API would work well with Twitter, but not required. If there is...
Im writing a twitter app in Google App Engine. It accepts commands as Direct Messages, so i have setup a third party cronjob service to invoke a handler that processes DMs at regular intervals. I have a Model 'Info' that has just one entry, it stores some common data which are used in many places in the App(in this case, the time when th...
Twitter, Google, Amazon, del.icio.us etc. all give you a lot of data to play with, all for free. There's also a lot of textual data available through initiatives like Project Gutenberg. And that, it seems, is just the tip of the iceberg. I have been wondering how you could use this data for fun. I'm a first year IT student, so I have no...
I'm looking for a way to turn user input into normalized data fit for calculation. The input is some length of time, and is coming from Twitter, so it's string only. Ideally I'd love these results: an hour and a half --> 01:30 27.52 --> 00:28 5:24 --> 05:24 Is this is a particularly difficult thing to do? I...

Problem I'm writing a Twitter client for the command line (in C). I'm currently working on doing TAB-completion for Twitter screen names, like so: tweet "@s<TAB> @sourcebits @spolsky However, I can't get it to work mid-string, e.g.: tweet "Foo bar @s<TAB> since Bash treats the string as one word. I couldn't find anythin...
Hi there, I've retrieved a series of objects from the Twitter API, and I want to summarize them. I'm most familiar with analyzing results from a SQL query, but given a series of objects like this: array(9) { ["results"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(9) { ["text"]=> string(14) "4.2 #runlogger" ["to_user_id"]=> NULL ...

I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance! PS: A username must only contain letters, numbers and underscores. ...
There's a similar question on here about this which I've read and I've tried to follow the advice given there... and I think I'm 95% complete but the remaining 5%... well you know ;-) So I'm trying to call the twitPic API to upload an image and I've got the image contained in a UIImageView which I'm displaying on the screen (I can see i...
I would like to update status on Twitter without using external libraries nor dll-s. I've found for example this solution: http://www.dreamincode.net/code/snippet2556.htm But it does not work and does not give any error. Could you please tell me how to update status programmatically from c#? When I catch error I get: 500 Internal Se...
