Andy Badera. Jackass tech consultant, .NET geek extraordinaire and
CTO. Take your pick on the priority of those three. Been working with
the Twitter API since November or December 2007. I wrote the first
.NET client posting simultaneously to both Pownce (whodat?) and
Twitter. (First .NET client for Pownce, period.)
Features? I could go on forever.

but I spend most of my time these days doing Twitter. Main languages
are Perl (Net::Twitter is my friend!) and R, with Ruby sometimes when
I need to write code other people can read. ;-) Main areas of interest
- natural language processing, statistics, applied math, Linux
performance engineering, social media analytics / marketing tools,
algorithmic composition of music.
What have I built? Some public stuff is at http://github.com/znmeb/Twitter-API-Perl-Utilities
and http://github.com/znmeb/Ruby-Streaming-Testing.
What do I most want to see added? Well, right now, I'd mostly like to
see Twitter put up a public page with all the "gee-whiz" statistics -
how many tweets per hour are being created, how many searches are
being done, how many people are joining Twitter per day, etc. I'm
happy with the API itself.

For a long time, I didn't 'get' Twitter. Then I thought of having the
classified ads on my site send an update to the site's Twitter status
each time someone posts a new ad. A TinyURL for the ad is included in
the status update.
I also realized that Twitter is a really good way to keep my site's
users updated about the site. There are many possible pratfalls if one
tries to keep a mailing list, that include getting blacklisted due to
false spam complaints and so on. So, I'm letting Twitter be the means
by which I stay in touch with my site's visitors!
Now I am a big fan of Twitter.
I use Classic ASP with the API.
My site isn't anything fancy, it is just a fun little hobby site for
owners of Quarter Horses at http://QHTimes.com (Twitter account
QHtimes)

I'm Jugiter Viglio and I am involved in intelligence collection on Twitter.
I'd like to see more links to tools that permit the tracking of long terms trends, groups of accounts, keywords, and the like. These should be downloadable applications for an open source operating system. There are interesting web based tools but applying them discloses both methodology and subjects of interest.
I may or may not examine Mr. Ed Borasky's offerings from an undisclosed location.

* SpazCore, a component library for JavaScript that helps devs build

* Twitter Source Stats, a simple web app that tracks and displays
stats about how people are posting to Twitter

* The feature I'd like added to the API the most would be a social-
graph-type method that included screen names

Hill, I wanted to show readers how to create a LINQ provider.
Therefore, I created an open source .NET LINQ provider for Twitter and
posted it at http://linqtotwitter.codeplex.com/. I think Twitter is
incredible for what it has accomplished so far and the amazing
potential it has as a transformational communications medium. BTW, I
have my ticket to Chirp and hope to meet many of you there.

I'm Jonathan Markwell I first experimented with the the API in in
Summer 2007 when I made our office Nabaztag Rabbit speak all the
tweets in my timeline (it wasn't long before it was thrown out the
window). I pay the bills as an independent Ruby on Rails developer,
mostly working on Twitter integrations.
I'm really interested in the challenges of scaling developer
communities and have just started a series of blog posts on the topic
here: http://blog.jot.is/the-unsolved-scaling-challenge
I enjoy organising real world developer events and activities inspired
by the barcamp, coworking, hack space and seed accelerator movements
mostly in Brighton and London in the UK. These include:
The Twitter Developer Nest: http://twitterdevelopernest.com
WarbleCamp - The Twitter Developer Unconference: http://warblecamp.com
Developer Mission - A group of UK hackers travelling to Chirp:
http://developermission.com
The Skiff coworking space: http://theskiff.org
BootCycle - Peer support for early stage technology products:
http://bootcycle.com
BarCampBrighton: http://barcampbrighton.org
Please let me know if you are interested in participating in any of
the above or replicating them in your part of the world.
The feature I'd most like to see added to the API is a way for us to
add freeform metadata to tweets and users. This would enable the
developer community to experiment with the potential of new features
enabling us to innovate in the same way that users have with notations
such as @ and #.
I'm also working on my own app called Smidgn which is an approach to
achieving some of the benefits the above feature would provide.
Looking forward to meeting many of you at Chirp, I'm also travelling
to SXSWi for the first time this year, would be great to meet any of
you that are there.

designer, turned web developer, turned web marketer. Most of this time
was spent in the financial services industry. I first really found
out about the Twitter API early last year. Early this year I began
working on a Twitter advertising platform (http://www.pay4tweet.com)
that will focus on ease of use rather than landing celebrity Tweeters.
I spend most of my other free web time maintaining a design awards
site (http://www.moluv.com - 10 years) and honing my internet
marketing skills.
I was relocated out of my job and December, and it feels good...at
least until I have to start paying bills again. Anyone need online
marketing help?
The feature I'd like to most see from Twitter is a non-feature.
Please keep it simple. Google has done a great job with this over the
years with their main search page. Hopefully, Twitter can do the
same.

applications and games for the Social Web.
Current Twitter related Projects include http://TwitIQ.com and
http://TwitHive.com.
We're also working on another Twitter related project around
conversations that will be launched soon.
I have lots of feature requests but the three top ones that would help
me immediately would be:
- Display of in_reply_to_status_id in search results if tweets are
replies to other tweets
- Better Twitter paging support so that you can retrieve tweets in
date order starting from a since_id
- Better people search ranking geared towards twitter names (eg.
search for yong and it should return yongsu first)

My name is Andrew Seigner. I created http://heypic.me to display
tweets on a Google Map, with iPhone integration and a public API
supporting XML and KML.
The site uses python-twitter and oauth-python-twitter. I contributed
minor changes to each, adding Geo and Trends support to python-twitter
and a bug fix to oauth-python-twitter:
http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/
http://code.google.com/p/oauth-python-twitter/
The feature I would most like to see was actually fulfilled a few days
ago with the release of the mobile OAuth login page, go team! The next
feature I'd like to see is delegated OAuth, so the iPhone app could
post photos to TwitPic or YFrog, rather than just using ImageShack.
Nice to meet everyone,

Marc Mims
interface to the Twitter API. I'm a freelance software developer
specializing in modern perl (Moose, Catalyst, DBIx::Class, and
Net::Twitter, of course).
I'm a Linux enthusiast and run Debian on my personal systems with
xmonad, Vim, Firefox+Vimperator. Give me text, and take the mouse with
you. :)
My first Twitter app was Twirc [2], a local IRC gateway for Twitter.
It's the Twitter client I use.
Chris Thompson wrote and maintained Net::Twitter through version 2.12. I
wrote replacement, from scratch, and Chris handed off the project to me.
So I authored Net::Twitter 3.0 and maintain it, currently.
Net::Twitter and the community of users and applications they've built
have been a joy to work with. I'm registered for Chirp and I'm doing a
little fund raising from the Net::Twitter users to help cover the costs
of attending [3].
In my spare time, I'm working on packrati.us (@packratius) [4], a
Twitter + Delicious mashup. It started as a simple learning project for
OAuth and the Streaming API. I'm really pleased with the backend code,
which is where most of the effort has gone. If I can shake loose some
more time, I need to do plenty of front end work (a designer I am not)
and add some features to make it useful to a wider audience.
I'll 2nd @Abraham's feature request for a conversation method returning
replies for a specified status. I'd also like to see some consistency
in error handling. Getting "Not authorized" for user_timeline can mean
(1) the account is protected and the authenticated user is not
authorized, (2) the account is suspended, (3) the account has 0 tweets.
Getting a 500 response with HTML content from the Search API is
unhelpful; getting an error response in the requested format would be
much saner. There are many other inconsistencies in error responses.
Life would be easier if they were addressed.
Looking forward to Chirp and meeting some other Twitter devs there.

I use both the REST API and Streaming API regularly and agree with the comments on standardising the errors across the platform (the user_timeline as mention by Marc is a particular pet hate).
I've also been doing some research in to awareless of embedded EXIF data in images that are posted to Twitter via services such as twitpic.com. I'll be publishing these finds towards the end of the month.
I sadly won't be attending Chirp due to it being too far to travel from England and not enough funds to do so :( Hopefully one of you will create a webcast for me to watch!

Our API has grown to include fluent and service-based support for 100%
of the Twitter API, and most recently Yammer as well.
We're going to do our best to make it to Chirp this year.

I've been working with twitter for about half a year, and my efforts
are split between working
on client application and backend server (which handles all
communication between handset and Twitter servers, and is written in
Erlang).
So far the only twitter opensource released by me was an Erlang client
library. I don't think anyone except me actually uses it.
I'm looking forward to see xAuth avaiable - few users in China will
appreciate not having to
struggle with GFW to get their oauth tokens.

I'm John SJ Anderson, aka @genehack.
In my day job I work for the National Institutes of Health, doing
various sorts of IT-ish stuff (everything from datacenter management
to web app development). For fun I do little web apps and other stuff
in Perl, as well as occasionally writing on my
old-school-but-mostly-lapsed blog genehack.org.
I joined this list just a few days ago because I started working on a
personal web server-style web application to aggregate Twitter,
Identi.ca, and Facebook (and probably other stuff once I get around to
it) into a single interface. Haven't released anything yet, so the
name might change, but right now I'm calling it 'StatusSkein'. Source
is at <http://github.com/genehack/app-status-skein>; screenshot at
<http://twitpic.com/14egkg/full>. (This was mainly to play around with
HTML::FormHandler and MooseX::Declare, but it seems to be turning into
something useful...)
What I'd most like to see added, or figure out how to do, is a way to
use the OAuth stuff without having to distribute my consumer secret. I
gather I'm not alone in this. 8^/

I'm a ruby dev based in Melbourne, Australia, at Stateless Systems.
I've been consuming Twitter's Streaming, Search, and Rest API to drive
http://trendsmap.com/ which shows local Twitter trends on a Google Maps

I have a passion for all things geo (& weather), and so am keen to see
more development in the geo area of the API. The addition of the
geostream is fantastic, be great to see that use the location field if
no specific geo data is provided. Also would love to see language based
filtering of streams.
I'm heading to San Jose at the end of March for Where 2.0 & WhereCamp,
after which I will be floating around San Francisco through until after
Chirp. Looking forward to the presentations from the Twitter team at
both conferences, and meeting many of you.
Cheers,

I'm Anil Chawla and I develop a free service called tweetymail -
http://tweetymail.com - which is a full-featured Twitter client based
entirely on email. I've been using the API since early 2009 and
develop my applications in PHP (thank you Abraham for your excellent
TwitterOAuth library).
The feature I would most like to see is the Search API providing the
correct Twitter user IDs :-) I am also excited about xAuth and agree
with Marc's comment about getting more clarity in some of the error
messages.

I'm Nik (@nikf) and work at Realmac Software in Brighton, England. We
make a few Mac OS X applications - RapidWeaver / LittleSnapper and
Socialite (previously known as Eventbox) which brings multiple social
networks into one place. Whilst technically 'Support & QA Manager' I
also keep the ball rolling with Socialite. Socialite[1] is one of the
few Twitter clients (on *any* platform I believe) to actually do OAuth
using PIN entry, and as you can imagine we're itching for xAuth :)
One thing I'm really looking forward to is new developer site Ryan
announced in his talk at LeWeb. It'd be nice to easily and clearly
know if features in the Twitter service are deactivated (like Retweets
have been in the past).
Cheers!

Free, full featured iPhone twitter clients that shipped on day 1 of
the AppStore 2 years ago.
I got started on the iPhone 22 years ago as one of the first third
party developers for Steve Job's company 'NeXT' - and we're using the
same, though evolved, SDK and language (objectiveC) on the iPhone and
iPad today.
I'm looking forward to CHIRP and meeting you all, and I have a special
connection to the Palace of Fine Arts. In 1992, John Perry Barlow and
I invited a bunch of our outrageous psychedelic friends and members of
the NeXT community to a rave we hosted there. I think that was the
last one they let happen there, but it was quite memorable! My phone
was tapped for two years after that, but it was worth it.
I'd love feature parity with Twitter web - like a flag to home
timeline that would include RT's. I'd like access to xAUTH like some
other vendors already have, to have Apple Push Notification Service
built in to twitter's device delivery options, and while I'm
fantasizing, a link to our app in the ad-space!

SnapMyLife, and a couple other unpublished/half-finished projects.
One of the things we've been playing with at oneforty is how to
measure which apps are being used in the wild. We monitor the garden
hose (and other sources) to see which apps are posting, but would love
to find better ways to know what (non-posting) apps people are using.
So having a more structured source parameter would go a long way
(which Raffi has been great about). Open to talking with anyone who
has thoughts on this area.
And I'm excited to see the rumors of having an Sign Up API (http://
www.readwriteweb.com/archives/twitter_rolls_out_new_api_citysearch_first_to_impl.php)
which would be great for a site like ours.
Finally, I'm interested in figuring out how I can help the Twitter dev
community more. Would be curious if Raffi and other Twitter folks have
a wishlist that they would like to see the community do.
I'll be at Chirp in April and would love to meet other twitter devs,
and any in the Boston area before then.
Cheers,

I'm Damon Cortesi (@dacort) and have been addicted to building Twitter
apps for the past two years now. I wrote my first Twitter app in 2007.
It was a perl script that downloaded your tweets and inserted them
into an iWork Numbers template to graph your timeline and top
replies[1]. That script eventually became TweetStats.com. Over the
course of the past two years, I've probably built some 20-30 different
Twitter apps - some released, some not. A couple of the other main
ones I work on are TweepSearch.com, TwitterAvatar.appspot.com and
rowfeeder.com.
I used to do security consulting full-time, mostly in the web app and
payment card data security spaces. This whole Twitter app stuff was
just a hobby that kept me up late on the weekends. After a stint last
summer as a Twitter Entrepreneur in Residence at a VC up here in
Seattle, I finally realized I wanted to build social media apps full-
time and started a new company[2] to do so just last month.
I'd love any features that let us access more data, specifically my
full timeline would be awesome to be able to access again. :)

I'm @ginatrapani, and I'm working on ThinkTank (http://
thinktankapp.com), an install-it-yourself webapp that archives your
tweets, friends, followers, and mentions and makes curating/filtering
tweet replies easier. (It also makes use of Abraham's TwitterOAuth
library, so THANK YOU kind sir.) It started as a weekend project, but
I just got funding by Expert Labs, a non-profit that makes tech for
helping government use social media more effectively--so now it's my
full-time job. In April, the White House will use ThinkTank for their
Grand Challenges project. In short, they'll use Twitter and other
services + ThinkTank to gather and curate public feedback about what
should be our top-priority scientific and technology challenges.
Exciting stuff.

PHP these days (thanks to WordPress and Facebook).
A few of my projects are listed on http://whitleymedia.com, but my
favorite is still a Twitter Excel client (that some suggested should
be named "Excreet").
I run Chat Catcher and My Tweeple -- so, I'd love to see fewer
limitations on the streaming API and more than 100 people per page in
the REST API.
And, I know they said they wouldn't do this, but I'd love to see
Twitter create permanent urls for our profile images.

i'm @raffi.
i was hired aboard the @twitterapi team in july of last year by @al3x
and @rsarver. at the time, i was looking for a place that would
really give me the chance to work on really hard problems, work with
really smart people, and also allow me to really make an impact on
peoples' lives. i think i'm lucky to have found that place.
@twitter, and especially this team and the people on it, are great.
in the last few months, i've pushed out the geotagging API, the local
trends APIs, and tons of other stuff and bug fixes. i really enjoy
figuring out "the right way" to express and capture the representation/
interaction methods of a platform. i also have fun puzzling through
security problems. i love interacting with and talking to developers
(and sometimes find i don't have enough time for it), and i get really
excited when developers find creative and interesting ways to take our
stuff and to use it in ways that we haven't thought about.
what do i wish for the most on the platform? wouldn't you all like to
know :P let's say, i'm generally interested in a few themes:
simplicity, scalability (not just our systems, but also in our
expressions and representations), and ubiquity. you can fill in the
blanks. and when you do, drop us a line.

Howdy,I'm Donald Page from Tennesse. I'm an unemployed wannabe programmer. My experience with the twitter API came after an acquaintance asked me to build him a twitter application. I built a quick and dirty app for him but his finances fel through and nothing came of it. After following the posts on this board I realized I could not spend my time chasing the ever-changing API and decided to stp the development in favor of projects I had a better chance with.D. Page
Zhami
developing a Mac/Cocoa desk-top app for interacting with Twitter. I've
been working on it for a year now (slow pace of development). It has a
unique (and rather cool, if I may say so) U/X, unlike anything out
there. I am presently adapting the app for OAuth, which is starting to
fall into place. I am registered for Chirp, and hope to meet some of
you there. Presently I live in southeast Florida, but have called the
Bay Area home for years, and so will enjoy a visit to SF.
The one feature request that stands out for me now would be to have
the ability to attach a single line of meta-data to a status update,
and to for there to be a managed namespace for using this meta data
field. Then we app/Web developers could populate that field with
interesting items and we could parse for those that we want to adopt
into our individual apps/Web sites.

Hi, I'm Patrick Kennedy, and I grew up in Hawaii. I have worked with
Department of State for several years now, currently in Vietnam, and
next up, Laos - definitely your S/E Asian connection - come and visit
anytime. :-) Anyways, I created a buggy twitter client in PHP (Basic
Auth), and I am becoming very capable with OAuth coding now. I hope
to release something cool by June, but who knows. While I may not be
the best programmer in the world, I find Twitter to be a super fun way
to get into coding. Often my shortcomings are with things that are
difficult for many - like regex, etc - and if I had more access and
code, I'd be 100 times better. Even so, I enjoy the open API twitter
fun of it, and I hope to make something useful and cool in the not-too-
distant future. Most of my coding is with PHP, but I am going to try
out RoR pretty soon.

Our core product is called awe.sm[2] and is a campaign tracking
platform for social media (no, it's not just another URL
shortener ;-) ) with some pretty robust APIs[3]. We've also built
fbShare.me, the original retweet badge knock-off for Facebook, as well
as TweetPo.st, which cross-posts tweets to Facebook in a more
intelligent manner.
I guess at this point, our top feature request is the ability to
disable quality filtering in the Streaming API when using follow
predicates[4] :-D
And a final fun fact, we just moved into an office with Klout on the
ground floor of the same building Twitter is in. So, folks are welcome
to stop by if they're ever in the neighborhood.

source library to connect to Streaming, written in *C* and supplied
with SWIG ".i" interface definition files. That way, I would know:
a. I had the correct connection algorithm, backoffs, DNS time-to-live, etc.
b. I had Twitter-supplied code.
c. I could connect to Streaming using *any* scripting language SWIG supports.
I haven't looked at all of the libraries, but the two I've worked
with, one in Ruby and one in Perl, both translate the raw JSON coming
out of Streaming into "native" objects. This isn't going to scale, and
Twitter recommends against it.
I simply want a C library to connect to Streaming with a specified
parameter set, do the DNS time-to-live stuff right, do the reconnect
stuff right, and present me with JSON text lines I can queue, write to
a file, or, for that matter, drop on the floor. And really, I only
care about JSON - you can go ahead and deprecate XML and I'll write a
blog post telling the world how many kittens you've saved! ;-)
I think the rest of the API is very well-covered in open source
libraries. I only work in Perl and Ruby, so I can't comment on the
other major languages, but I've never heard any complaints from my PHP
and Python friends. ;-)

Jaanus
I’m Jaanus. My day job has nothing to do with Twitter, but a few
months back, I started looking into Twitter and iPhone more closely
out of personal interest as a hobby project. I wrote down how OAuth
works [1] and made a simple Objective-C implementation [2].
Just now, I released a new iPhone Twitter app, Crème. It just hit the
App Store, get it from http://cremeapp.com. As far as I’m aware, it’s
one of the first general-purpose Twitter clients on the App Store that
uses OAuth for authentication, I haven’t come across others. I use my
own PlainOAuth. I think this app breaks some new ground in terms of
how to interact with Twitter, I’d be interested in all the feedback.
One thing that nobody seems to talk about is read/unread management,
which I think about a lot. I’m not sure that it belongs in the API,
perhaps at this stage it is better left to clients, but I think all
the current clients and also the twitter.com site do a terrible job at
it, so I propose a better way with Crème. This is still local to one
device, but I do believe that there is potential in syncing reads/
unreads across devices. Until Twitter puts it in their API (if ever),
I'll probably be forced to do my own solution. Looking forward to
OAuth Echo to do the authentication part of it (e.g if I maintain my
own "unread server," I'd use OAuth Echo to make sure the reads/unreads
of different users are separated and everyone only sees their own.)
Twitter API was straightforward to work with, don’t really have any
major gripes. There’s a bunch of inconstencies (e.g I can get my own
mentions, but not others’), and one thing that is not advertised well
is the HTML encoding/decoding (a bunch of fields are HTML-encoded and
you need to remember to decode them on client side before
displaying... I think this applies only to JSON, which I’m also
using).
My only “holy crap” moment with Twitter API was when I came across the
"REST and search user IDs are different" bug (http://code.google.com/p/
twitter-api/issues/detail?id=214). That this has not been fixed after
all this time, leaves an amateur and shenaniganish taste of the whole
Twitter API operation. Fixing it does not get easier with time as
increasingly more data is generated, you know... but, on the client
side I do not need to do global matching for any users, I could work
around it by simply using screen names throughout the app, so for my
particular case it was not a showstopper, but it leaves a bad taste.
One other thing I didn't find much info about is how Twitter works
with profile images. As users upload them, multiple versions are
generated, and you have to truncate and replace parts of filename to
get the different versions, but I came across it as hearsay, I don't
think it's documented.
So, check out cremeapp.com :)

We're building a realtime personal information engine to distill from

We've developed a web site to show our platform in action, an iPhone

There's the chance to enrich tweets using our API and get semantic
entity markup, nonintrusive in-text affiliate commerce links, related
content, social relevance scores and more.
This can be an interesting feature to add to a Twitter client.

it would be fairly difficult to do without access to the full
database, but what she wants is to be able to limit a search to just
the people she's following. For example, if she saw a link go by from
someone and didn't remember who it was from, she'd like to be able to
search for it.
I can think of fairly easy ways to code it using the API, but I'm
wondering if something like that could be built into the web app.

the Twitter API for the past 3 months on a Twitter project that
hopefully will go live in a few weeks. I've been using PHP/mySQL/
memcached to build my site but it has been a slow process since I have
a day job and I'm relearning some of the new technology since I
haven't touched a piece of code in over 8-9 years. (Designing for IE6
sucks).
The feature I would love the most is a conversation API so it's easy
to show conversations based on a tweet.

I've been following the discussion here for a couple of weeks, it has helped me understand the API better.
Cheers all, Nigel.
Craig Hughes
I am Craig Hughes, a Graphic Designer and Web Developer based in Wales
(UK). I speak fluent Photoshop, Fireworks and Illustrator and build
my web projects using PHP, jQuery, Javascript and a sprinkle of Spry
for good measure.
The Twitter platform was the first API I worked with to develop a web
service. Back in March 2009, I built tweetzi, an augmented interface
for searching Twitter that allowed users to 'play' or 'pause' the
results stream. Working with Twitter search was a complete revelation
as I realized how powerful and useful the information contained in
millions of real-time tweets could be.
Expanding on tweetzi, I recently finished developing tweetzi LOCAL, a
new type of classifieds service that uses localized Twitter data to
provide ways for users to interact at a city level. The service
provides a way for users to browse and post tweets across dozens of
categories in a similar fashion to services such as Craigslist, Oodle
and Gumtree.
I look forward to the new Twitter search developments (popular tweets)
being rolled out.
Kind Regards
Craig

Sean Callahan
and have been working with the Twitter API since the fall of 2008. I
now work with a team of seven who are very skilled at working with the
Twitter API.
Using the Twitter API we have created an extensive and easy-to-use
photo sharing API and client libraries for Obj-C, Java and .Net. Other
3rd party developers in the Twitter community have developed client
libraries for PHP and Python as well.
Like you Abraham, we are constantly looking to improve our API. Please
take a look at our API and let us know what we can provide the Twitter
community to create an even better photo sharing experience.
Please let me know how I can help you create a more social photo
sharing experience in your application.
The TweetPhoto API can be found http://groups.google.com/group/tweetphoto

Pistachio
my name is laura fitton but i answer to @pistachio. i'm more than a
bit silly and idealistic and i've been so excited about twitter for so
many years that i've stumbled into a few pretty lucky things like
speaking, writing twitter for dummies & eventually founding oneforty.
i started prattling on about twitter for business to whoever would
listen in Aug 2007, so i think about what tools are needed quite a
lot. and i get VERY excited about what the right tools could mean for
the world. in general, not just the business world.
i can't code my way out of a wordpress install, so i mostly lurk here
on the list.
we're almost fanatically devoted to finding out what TwitterAPI
developers need to thrive and build their apps to be as successful as
possible. please hit me up (here. at Chirp. on email or cell.) and
tell me what problems www.oneforty.com can best help you with.
as to the events of this week, i'm troubled for the potential future
loss of what Twitter could be to the world if the system's innovators
are not supported and cultivated with great respect.
we'd love to see more libraries (http://oneforty.com/tag/API
%20library) and other useful-to-developers things (http://oneforty.com/
tag/developer%20tools) listed on www.oneforty.com. anyone can add them
anytime, or add tags on stuff already listed. thank you.

Ivo
my name is Ivo Wetzel and I'm a 22 year old, currently jobless guy
from Germany :D
I started with programming at the age of 12, trying to make that "Oh I
want to make my own Game"-Dream come true.
I've recently switched from Vista to Ubuntu and couldn't find Twitter
Client that fitted my needs, so I started writing my own one.
You can check it out over at my GitHub Account if you like to:
http://github.com/BonsaiDen
I've been working on the thing for something like 6 weeks now(full
time, 12 or more hours a day...), it's my first "major" project to be
gentle with it ;)
Before all of that I did a lot of web stuff, languages and stuff that
I'd teach myself include JavaScript, Python, Java, a bit of C, HTML
and CSS.

like to include a basic login integration or the like. I've been
hanging around this group for a while, but I've only got round to

KrushRadio - Doc
To quickly answer your initial 3.. .
My name is Dan Regalia..(@DocNasty) here on twitter.
I'm a software developer for trade.. nearing 40, i am proud to say
that i have spent 3/4 of my life programming computers.. from fortran
to quickbasic to any microsoft technology i can sink my teeth into..
As far as features that i'm looking for, I'm more interested in how
oAuth works, and seeing how far i can push twitter... I think as a
platform I need to evolve with it, and stick to what i know, which is
internet radio. I'd rather be a solid user than a part time
developer.. once i run into a brick wall, i'll be back to bug you
here.
My goals/projects are as such: I have a few applications on deck..
one is the kritter, which is a krushradio twitter application. music
player and twitter app..
Then there is the yp server, which is fed from the broadcast server
and tweets whats playing from the stations. Phase 1 was completed
last night, phase 2 which is about 60% will pick out artists names,
and check them against the database and if there is a twitter for that
band, it will show the band twitter and the song name.. which will
give the artist the ability to see when their songs are being played..
and where..
Kind of a nifty and unique concept.
Anyways, thats me.

I am Kingsley Idehen, Founder & CEO, OpenLink Software.
Somewhat unconventional re. conventional CEO's, I am still actively
involved in the technical aspects of my company's products.
Background:
I've been involved with Data Access (ODBC, JDBC, OLEDB, ADO.NET, XMLA),
Data Integration, and Data Management (Relational, Graph, Document)
technology since the late '80's (I am only 44 btw!).
More recently, I've been actively involved with the burgeoning Web of
Structured Linked Data (using GData, OData, and RDF etc..).
My main interest here is to contribute to the conversation that
ultimately leads Twitter realizing its full potential via its evolution
into a powerful Linked Data Space on the burgeoning Web of Linked Data.
The opportunities are boundless and the sole requirement is structured
data (which makes Linking much easier).

Jesse Andersen from Omaha, NE. For the past six months, I've been
obsessed with creating an iphone Twitter client. I have a full-time
"real" job, so I work on my client at night/on the weekends. I was a
little discouraged when the news broke about Twitter's acquisition of
Tweetie, but after a few days I got over it. My client has enough
unique features that I think there will still be a market for it, even
in a world where an official iphone client exists. The tentative name
of my app is "Tweetsistant". I should be submitting it to the app
store within the next few weeks, so keep a look out!
ctshryock
My name is Clint, I'm a web and Cocoa developer from Missouri, and
I've recently released my first beta app called Faces. Faces manages
your profile pics across your various Twitter accounts. You can keep
a collection of images for your profile pics and upload them to any of
your Twitter accounts with a simple drag and drop.
Here's a link to an announcement post which has a link to download the
app for those interested: http://ctshryock.com/2010/04/introducting-facesapp-beta.html
Faces is still a beta but largely complete. Any feedback is welcome

Georgios
My name is Georgios (@georgioskap) and I have been developing on the
Twitter API for the last 6 months. I just launched Favorious (http://
favorious.com) which is a website that aggregates Twitter favorites.
Favorious aims to become the most comprehensive service based on
Twitter favorites. You can view your favorites, your tweets that have
been favorited by others and the most popular tweets and people
overall. You can also explore popular tweets and favorite tweets of
other users.
Favorious is based on Twitter's REST API and has been developed on
Ruby on Rails with MySQL database in the backend. Please give it a go
and let me know if you have any feedback. The site development is not
over yet as there is more functionality to be added in the future.
Cheers

(http://www.kachingle.com) that's building a new type of service for
letting users give financial support to the web sites they visit. We
want to use Twitter to keep our member sites and users aware of each
others' activities.
I've spent about half of my career doing programming, and the other
half doing technical writing. (I'm a big believer in documentation,
and in software design for usability.) I'currently do most of my
programming in PHP, with a little Javascript thrown in. My past
activities have encompassed Java, C++, C, Visual Basic for
Applications, FORTH, PL/I, FORTRAN IV, SNOBOL3, and IBM Basic Assembly
Language. Among other things.
I'm currently wrestling with the latest (I think) version of Abraham's
implementation of the API, trying to make it do the things that an
older version did.
