I love #stackoverflow because it's #superawesome. #fb Is there an API call that will give me back #stackoverflow, #superawesom...
Hello! A few days ago, I saw that happn.in now offers a service where tweets (messages on twitter.com) are grouped and analyzed for local areas. For several cities, they give you a list of trending terms. I know that you cannot exactly know how they do this but maybe you can help me, though: How can I do this, too? I have several appro...

I'm a bit confused about all this OAuth bruhaha in the sense that all the examples I can find are for web applications and none of them for desktop applications.

I'm trying to use Twitter's API and OAuth to send status updates (new Tweets).

The Twitter streaming api says that we should open a HTTP request and parse updates as they come in. I was under the impression that Google's urlfetch cannot keep the http request open past 10 seconds. I considered having a cron job that polled my Twitter account every few seconds, but I think Google AppEngine only allows cron jobs onc...

I'm designing a new system to store short text messages [sic]. I'm going to identify each message by a unique identifier in the database, and use an AUTO_INCREMENT column to generate these identifiers. Conventional wisdom says that it's okay to start with 0 and number my messages from there, but I'm concerned about the longevity of m...

Rules Your program must have two modes: encoding and decoding. When encoding: Your program must take as input some human readable Latin1 text, presumably English. It doesn't matter if you ignore punctuation marks. You only need to worry about actual English words, not L337. Any accented letters may be converted to simple ASCII. You m...

This is a weird one that anyone can repro at home (I think) - I am trying to write a simple service to run searches on Twitter on a service hosted on EC2. Twitter returns me errors 100% of the time when run in ruby, but not in other languages, which would indicate it's not an IP-blocking issue. Here is an example: admin@ec2-xx-101-152-x...
