Custom Query (1098 matches)

Found on testing.bitlbee.org at Wed Oct 6 18:41:54 EEST 2010

How to reproduce:

1. login to twitter (set the twitter account's mode setting to 'chat')

2. follow someone: 'follow bitlbee'

3. before the user sends a message, send a reply to him/her: 'bitlbee: hi!'

Outcome:

You will publish a tweet like this: 'bitlbee: hi!'

Instead of this: '@bitlbee: hi!'

Currently, every Tweet (and DM) posted has a "field" "source":

Utility used to post the Tweet, as an HTML-formatted string. Tweets from the Twitter website have a source value of web . Example:

"source":"\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/twitter\/id409789998?mt=12\" \u003ETwitter for Mac\u003C\/a\u003E"

​https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/tweets

Metadata like this is revealing and should be avoided or optional where possible.

If the Twitter API allows posting without this: please provide an option to disable the source value, like "account twitter set source false".

If the Twitter API does not allow it, please add an option to accept user values like "account twitter set source <string>".

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

just one more step towards being teh awesomes.
