Hello. Just wanted to make sure that developers who use Twitter's API are aware of impending changes to the API's JSON responses, which may affect or break existing applications.

The change will take effect on October 25, 2008.

See this thread in the Twitter Development Google Group for details.

(And please pardon this posting if you already know this news.)

I think twitter is like skype :-(
too many users and too little openness

I hope so - Twitter joining the openmicroblogging network would be a dream come true.

It should be a high priority, especially with the recent removal of SMS to international users. I'd be happy to have my notifications and replies sent to my IM and actually work - since I'm logged in a lot of the time on IM.

Well they originally had the capacity which ran out and then they got some amazon s3 space for the "static" content such as backgrounds/"avatars" ect.... so they should have the capacity for I.M. again. And i'm sure people in the U.K. would love it back since they have no S.M.S. option anymore.

I understand that capacity needs to be added and such but seriously I really don't think this is the "top priority" as they keep saying. If this is a top priority and taking 3 months, what about stuff that isn't top priority? There are plenty of xmpp sollutions out there. Some are quite scalable even if the configuration can be confusing (ejabberd I'm looking at you).

a whole lot of trial and error. Go through your running processes and tried stopping processes that don't look familiar. Just search on the process name in google and you'll usually find info to know if it's an important system file or from some other application. If you do stop a critical process, restarting the computer will fix it.

FWIW I don't get these errors anymore when upgrading, so it got fixed somewhere (either in a logitech update or air update)

How did you came up to the LVPrcSrv.exe file? I don't have a webcam but I'm having the same problem.

Found the sollution. A process used by my logitech webcam, "LVPrcSrv.exe" was causing the issue. Ending that process allows me to reinstall air as well as twhirl without issues. This is only needed while installing and appears to be an air issue, not just twhirl.

Todd Eddy replied on March 05, 2008 00:47 to the problem "Unable to upgrade twhirl" in Seesmic:

An update on this... I tried uninstall and reinstall twhirl with no luck. Even removed it manually my deleting it in program files and any mention of twhirl in the registry and still no luck. Tried to uninstall adobe air to reinstall and it says to contact the administrator... when I am the administrator. so I guess it's not twhirl specific so trying to contact adobe now. I'll update this if I can get air working again.

Unable to upgrade twhirl

When trying to upgrade from 0.6.3 to 0.7.1 I get the following error:

Sorry, an error has occurred

An error occurred while updating the application. Try updating it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author.

Error #0

I tried using the automated installer and manuall install. Also tried uninstalling the current version using both add or remove programs and the built in uninstall under advanced options in the installer. All give similar error and error #0

(edit)
This is on Windows XP Pro SP2. Air v1.0. Current version of twhirl is 0.6.3

Todd -- It's possible you already know this, but just thought I'd mention:

I think you'll get a faster response to API related suggestions at the Twitter Development Google Group, which is devoted almost entirely to API related discussions.

Add security to the API

I'd like to suggest a couple things to improve the security of the api and twitter in general. Use SSL for the API stuff and for logging in. Also instead of having to give all these sites my username and password and updating it everywhere, have an "api key" that I can use instead. Having to hand over my password, knowing it's going to be transfered "in the clear" worries me. The api key I can understand taking some time but SSL could be as simple as getting a certificate and force all conections to SSL (rewrite http:// to https://)
