motownmutt started following the question "Give us filters or give us...." in Twitter.

motownmutt replied on April 06, 2008 17:16 to the question "Give us filters or give us...." in Twitter:

I think user defined filters will be the single most important development for twitter if it ever happens.

I hadn't thought about it in the way you ask, for out-going tweets, I had only considered for incoming tweets. Interesting thought.

motownmutt replied on April 06, 2008 17:07 to the idea "Require captcha on Follow" in Twitter:

I hope that this suggestion never gets implemented. I don't want to be hindered if I go on a follow binge, and It goes against everything I like about the ability to tinker with twitter in different ways.

I haven't read the article, a link might be useful.

motownmutt replied on April 06, 2008 02:26 to the idea "Analyze New Followers feature" in Twitter:

I like the stoptwitterspam site. I agree it'd be nice to summarise users more easily.

There are possible methods to find two of the three items not found from the profile page.

* Date that they started following you
(I keep up with my email notifications, so I don't generally have a problem with this)

* How many people have they've followed in the past 24hours
twitterholic might be an option if they tweet often enough.
e.g. http://twitterholic.com/twitter/motow...

the remaining list item that I haven't seen addressed anywhere:

* Flag users who have a high level of blocking (Twitter - is this info available?)

Hope this helps, thanks for your great site!

I also think some kind of user defined filters would greatly improve the utility of twitter. I've been wrestling with trying to find a way to bulk follow/unfollow my news feeds, for example. (I wouldn't want to do this with human users, as it would generate email's every time I re-followed).

This doesn't address protected updates, but I've considered generating comma separated lists of users to plug into tweetscan's core groups function as an awkward work-around.

http://pxkthx.com/top.asp has a few of the third party searches, (as well as twitter's).

Terraminds s currently down, but tweetscan and google's site search are useful.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if there are other searches that might be added to the page.

motownmutt replied on March 15, 2008 14:20 to the question "How Can I Find My Tweets for a Date Range?" in Twitter:

This is only a partial solution.

This offers a way to browse quickly based on page numbers, the results show the date. It does the same thing as adding "?page=252" to the end of your twitter address: "http://twitter.com/user?page=252"

Yahoo pipes will not retrieve protected updates.
Once you have the updates of interest, you can favourite them, and take a screen shot of the relevant updates.

It's not perfect, but might help get the information you need.

Hope this helps.

motownmutt replied on March 07, 2008 02:03 to the question "How to access ALL past posts?" in Twitter:

Hi, I have two ways to do it. One is thru yahoo pipes, and the other is some javascript code I copied and modified. They both take a little effort, (not drag and drop, but not terribly difficult either).

check with me at twitter.com/motownmutt for details.

I have another person who has just protected their updates, as I will now be reminded every time they post something. This really sucks, twitter moderators. They don't show up in my following list.

So now when two formerly unprotected people update at the same time, it fills my timeline with useless tweets.

At least reply and acknowledge that this is a problem?

And twitter's search hasn't worked for a while now.

Actually, in my case, the person doesn't show up in my following list, but I still get the "I'm only giving updates to friends" everytime they update, apparently.

I have the same problem.

motownmutt replied on January 15, 2008 00:37 to the problem "Trouble turning off Twitterfeed" in twitterfeed:

Hey Mario, it may have been me doing things I shouldn't have. I think it's working now. I set an RSS to my feed account's Reply to, and even when I wasn't logged into that account, I was still seeing the updates. I started a new browser session, the RSS no longer shows the updates, and so far I haven't been booted from my account. Sorry for being a tinkerer, and blaming my dumb mistakes on your cool tool.

Thanks for your quick response! It seems to be working correctly now.

If you need someone to try to break something for you in the future, I'm @motownmutt on twitter.

motownmutt replied on January 14, 2008 18:11 to the problem "Trouble turning off Twitterfeed" in twitterfeed:

Having same problem. Deleted task, but it keeps logging me in under the feed account I was posting to. (embarrassing when you click to follow someone, and realize it was while you were logged into an experimental feed account). It also automatically logs me into the feed account when I open up twitter, which I definitely do NOT want on a shared computer. Part of the problem may have to do with I often browse twitter in a framed webpage, (yeah, old school like that), which can sometimes lead to unexpected behaviour.

This looks like an awesome tool, I wanted to test it out before trying it on my main account. Hopefully I get it sussed out soon.

I'll update with any news.
