Preface: my computer's timezone, and my Twitter account's timezone, are both set to GMT-5 (Eastern Standard Time). I just posted a tweet.
* On twitter.com, this tweet shows up with the correct timestamp - 8:59am.
* On my twitter RSS feed, however, the timestamp for this same exact tweet is 1:59pm (to be more exact, Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:59:31 +0000).
Despite my timezone setting being correct, my Twitter RSS feed seems to have time stamps in GMT+0 -which is inconvenient, since I pull my twitter RSS feed into a blog and my tweets sit on top of all my actual posts for quite a while due to these incorrect timestamps.
The JSON data that is used for including Twitter data on a website is sending incorrect time information. For a tweet that I made just now, at 1:49 PM EST (-0400) the data is:
"created_at":"Fri Jun 27 12:49:03 +0000 2008"
This is plainly wrong. If it's UTC then I'd expect it to be 5:49 PM.
It should be noted that this incorrect time is *also displayed on the website* leading me to believe there are some funky math problems going on in a more central location.
A tweet I sent at 14:18 yesterday showed up as having been sent at 21:59. Both of the other tweets I sent the same day have the correct timestamps.
What caused this, and is there any way to fix it? It makes no sense, and is less than useful, to have tweets from lunchtime appearing as if they were sent late at night.
Having a setting that allows the user of twitter to set his own parameters for followers/following
Stale Date- twitter users would pick a number of twitters from 1 to 50 and a number of weeks from 1 to 50. This number of post over time would determine who is automatically removed from your followers/following list. So if you were really open you could say to be on my list you have to post 1 time in 50 weeks. Or you could be a hard and say you have to post 50 times in 50 weeks.
With each user setting this up the Twitter software would go through on log in and check your parameters for inclusion, and boot those off your following/followers list who do not meet your requirement. Your first log in could take a while but it would be faster after that.
This means that everyone would have some requirements.
Those who are not using twitter will slowly get fewer and fewer contact. If they decide to start using twitter again they can always re-friend some one.
This would save cycles of computer time for those who are using Twitter and slowly minimize those who just joined to some one reach a membership number in some silly contest.
Nothing is bad about bringing people into twitter with contest but if they are just there to link to a few people and not ever show up again what good are they. This way they can still stay a member of twitter but they are limited in their footprint over time.
i'd like to use a nickname, but someone has already taken it. however, the owner have never twitted an update or he updated a very long time ago. is there some kind of "timeout" and the username will be free again?
Hello. Why is it that the embedded twitter widget in my multiply site shows wrong time?
In my twitter account, recent entries shows the message and the right time. e.g. MSG 10 minutes ago (message posted 10 minutes ago)
while in my multiply site it shows e.g. MSG 15 hours ago(message posted 10 minutes ago)
