A comment on the question "Is Twitkit no longer being supported?" in TwitKit:

BTW followed the next wave of that mikeyy caused by the oprah hype this SA. used twitters own twittersearch on key "mikeyy" ;
this stupid thing presented itself by bursts of success-tweet, so it was easy to identify infected sites ;
i agree, why should twitkit do the work twittersearch already does !
Might be more interesting to have an additional "TAB" showing the results from twittersearch on a specified searchpattern. This is even more flexible then "hashtags", autoupdates, seams to have no limits or trap-limits.
Noticed that mikeyy used the "bit.ly" shortener this time, so thanks to the improvements in Twitkit V1.2, I could switch the shortener ant once, thanks to the team Hans;
blocked all references to "bit.ly" by addblock-rule to stay on the save side.
If this stupid thing uses cookies to hide as mentionened in mashable/digg, it must fight the cookiesafe addon,
think I prefer specified flexible blocking to noscript, any opinion wellcome – klaus reinstein, on April 19, 2009 12:01

BTW this stupid stalkdaily easter-attack on twitter:
I used addblock added a rule and blocked all references to that url, when addblock updated this morning the counter showed about 80 hits, had no problems to stay "alive" except the delays and blackouts when twitter was busy fighting the attack; they better use a graf-letter confirmation when people change the "settings" like others do

just saw a tweet :
>For those of you reporting lots of 400s, can you confirm you are >not being rate limited with a call to account/rate_limit_status?
looks like there is a call for the limit already ?? – klaus reinstein, on April 15, 2009 17:53

twitter help states limits as :
- 1000 updates / day
- 1000 DMs / day
- 100 API-request / hour
- follow limit of 2000 , or unbalanced ( followers/following )

suggests if you need more , apply for "white list "

see : http://twitter.zendesk.com/forums/107...

I still think "twitkit" could count the api-request and autoadapt the frefresh-time by a nice formula ( which ? ) to avoid this trap,
for a test it could display the number of "requests last hour" and give a warning; only prob i see is when you poll via direct login from browser or additional addons which twitkit isnt aware of.

sometimes it helps ( but i dont know if this is related to the prob ) when I disconnect the DSLmodem ( my provider) , resync the line to get a different dynamic IP ( suppose twitter and twitkit use the cookie to keep track of the valid session )

link shortener works !
copy paste url , highlight url part , click icon (star) , send
its not via tinyurl but works, personally i prefere twittytunes which uses a more "flexible popup" but it needs the yahooplayer
maybe Hans could take a note for twitkit V 1.3 ? – klaus reinstein, on April 12, 2009 20:09

twitkit could "count" the calls and auto-adapt the "refresh-time" , so it wont run into this trap ! – klaus reinstein, on April 12, 2009 09:33

changed passw in case someone plays dirty tricks,
noticed twitter switches from "https" at login to "http" at home,
maybe "interested parties" like to follow what i am doing,

on improvements : groups would be nice, suggest a "filter" based on a list of "regular expressions" to select topics, hashtags, keywords, users etc

confirming !!! . the japan update works , seams to be php-problem , Hans : please send us an official updated "easter-egg" ;-)) – klaus reinstein, on April 11, 2009 06:33

A comment on the question "Is Twitkit no longer being supported?" in TwitKit:

- used our local /twittermap.de to get an idea whats twittered on the local timeline
- tryed the rss-feed to get an idea what "friends" twitter
but thats no "ERSATZ" for twitkit ( miss it like hell )

origin of problem could be :
- twitter changed and added the access to/of replies, see "info"
and twitkit is "confused" cannt handle them
- twitter changed identification and limits by user-IP
- twitter changed timeline , problems reported with "jerusalem-time"
- twitkit now needs cookies an adverts , blocked by "cookiesafe" and/or "addblockplus" , reported with other twitter-addons
- changes in java-maschine, php, xml ... no supported by older versions, btw no errors reported by "Error Console" except info on "3rd-party cookie" by "twitkit"

but i dont have the tools nor the "easter-spirit" to look into the sources right now

in case Hans and even if he finds a workaround we should file official complaints to twitter, this is no way to treat "power-users ;-)", they shouild test things and tell people
