dacort replied on June 29, 2009 17:17 to the question "Tweepsearch on iPhone?" in TweepSearch:

It certainly does. (It needs a little cleaning up, but it does work)

dacort replied on May 13, 2009 00:17 to the idea "search for exact match" in TweepSearch:

Hi,

You can do this by using the + operator.

Here's an example: http://tweepsearch.com/search?query=%...

I'll update the help page with this operator as it was recently added.

Hi Lynn,

I think you've hit a Twitter limit - if you are @Paracorp on Twitter, they only allow you to follow up to 2,000 people until you have more people following you back. You can find more information about these limits on Twitter's site - http://help.twitter.com/forums/10713/...

As for TweepSearch, I need to add some sort of error message that lets you know you've hit this limit.

Hi Liz, the only paid ranking is the green one at the top of the list. I'm still setting up the ads system, but once I do I only plan on having the one where my ad is right now and it will be clearly indicated.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Alex,

If you log in to the site by clicking the "Authenticate to Twitter" link, you should see follow and unfollow buttons. Please let me know if you don't.

If you're not logged in, there's not much I can do except provide a link to the Twitter profile where you can follow the person from there. If you click their twitter username on the right-hand side, it will take you to their profile on Twitter.

I'm not sure I can add to tweetdeck groups easily, but I've been looking into it!

dacort replied on March 29, 2009 22:29 to the idea "already following indicator" in TweepSearch:

This should already be showing up, but there may be some temporarily problems with them showing up.

If you log in, they also show up on the right-hand side.

dacort replied on March 26, 2009 01:47 to the update "Find people on Twitter: people search is back" in Twitter:

Until Twitter re-implements a full bio search (?), I created http://tweepsearch.com - while it doesn't index everybody on Twitter (I'm working on it! ;)), it's got a pretty significant number and you can also use it to search through your friends and/or followers bios.

For a couple examples:
Search for Seattle tweeps: http://tweepsearch.com/search?query=l...
Search for my friends in Seattle: http://tweepsearch.com/search/dacort?...

Enjoy! :)

dacort replied on February 21, 2009 23:10 to the idea "tweetdeck groups?" in TweepSearch:

Would you mind contacting TweetDeck regarding this, too? I sent them a message on Twitter, but never heard back.

I'll see if I can go through some more official means. If they are interested, I'll bump it up in the priority list.

dacort replied on January 27, 2009 08:21 to the idea "TweepSearch export?" in TweepSearch:

Definitely considering this - is there a specific format you'd like to see supported?

dacort replied on January 27, 2009 08:16 to the idea "Add A Downloadable File" in TweepSearch:

I've had this request a couple of times, so it's definitely something I will likely add. Probably in something like csv first, and then more "advanced" formats like PDF.

Thanks for the suggestions!

dacort shared an idea in TweepSearch on January 25, 2009 00:27:

Add a map to show where followers are

Add integration with Google maps so people can see *where* their followers are located.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, some very good points in here!

A comment on the question "Why can't I view all of my updates?" in Twitter:

Twitter is not living up to their own terms of service, as noted via http://twitter.com/tos, this is very nearly copyright infringement:

"We claim no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to the Twitter service. Your profile and materials uploaded remain yours."

Until, of course, the inability of the service to scale requires that they cut off access to said material. :-\ – dacort, on August 31, 2008 22:08

dacort replied on August 31, 2008 05:01 to the idea "Can I get SMS updates for just my @replies" in Twitter:

Although it would have worked (somewhat) for @replies, track is no longer functional and probably won't be for the foreseeable future unless Twitter surprises us all.

I, personally, have a script that I run that polls Summize (yes, I know...search.twitter.com) for replies and sends them to me via an SMS gateway. It's hokey, but it works...I wouldn't mind sharing the script but it requires a server to run it on 24/7.

dacort replied on August 31, 2008 04:58 to the question "Why can't I view all of my updates?" in Twitter:

Just felt like crying about this again as another user discovers his tweets are long lost in the Twitter ether for the foreseeable future. :-(

dacort replied on August 21, 2008 08:24 to the question "Direct messaging is not working" in Twitter:

Hey all - my guess is that this is due to Twitter attempting to put Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection in place on the direct messages page.

CSRF is (I believe - http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1611) what allowed that auto-follow problem a little while back.

It seems Twitter was trying to prevent a malicious site from sending dm's as you, but didn't quite do their testing to make sure it worked properly.

This also happened on the "delete direct messages" page a couple weeks ago - please, Twitter, do some unit testing before rolling out changes! Not to mention right before you leave for the day. :-\

Another workaround is to just use "d screen_name message" in the normal update box.

A comment on the discussion "Account Deleted/banned with no reasoning" in Twitter:

Jason - it seems like Twitter is attempting to address spam in a manner that is either ineffective or has a high level of false positives, even with human interaction. Spam is a difficult problem, but when you start affecting your users on a regular basis, you are losing the battle. Either the tools aren't working or the humans aren't doing their job.



While I don't exactly know what steps Twitter is taking, I urge you to read a couple posts I've put together on this in the past. I've had experience with this type of situation and they may help prod the devs with some other ideas as to how to help prevent spam.
