Talk:Twitter

okay champ is being a fucking pussy about this

Vote: The name of the page should be: Twitter or Twitter Tracker

• Why is does this need to be called Twitter Tracker unless it's going on the front page in the same way the CWCipedia Tracker is? Is there any reason other than "Conan 'O Brian did it"? If there is to be a Twitter Tracker, it should be something similar to the Twitter thing on CWCipedia and then a Twitter page to serve as an archive when Chris inevitably deletes his account or gets TOSed. Would someone looking for Chris's twitter look for "Twitter" or "Twitter Tracker"? Do you want to pipe every instance of "Twitter" to "Twitter Tracker" and what good reason is there for this aside from the Conan reference? --Champthom 02:21, 29 December 2009 (CET)

Need a better way

This probably needs a better way to dump and format these messages. In general, I'm a bit annoyed by the Web 2.0 obsession with "x days ago" style dates - nice for users, but crappy for people who mirror the content.

There's probably a bazillion different programs to read Twitter messages through the API and reformat them more nicely. I should probably look into those when I get around to it... --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 15:29, 2 January 2010 (CET)

I wrote a quick hack to download Chris's tweets and put it in a neat MediaWiki table format. l33t scripts in case you're interested. Will be updating this when or if Chris posts anything at all. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 17:21, 2 January 2010 (CET)
