Question, I haven't worked with API's too much but I'm building an app and I was curious to know if this idea would be possible. Would it be possible for a user to sign up on my site and pull that user's tweet's as a way to display the tweet on my website? Thanks in Advance.
Recently under some youtube videos there have been a Twitter feed, showing all tweets relevant to the video and what people are saying about it.
I was wondering how I could implement it on my website, except showing tweets relevant to my company's name.
Thanks in advance :D
Well this is a very general question so I'm providing you with a general answer. Use the Twitter API to pull data that is marked with #YourCompanyName or #YourCompany.

Pretty straight forward.
Now that twitter is on a media rampage you can see on twitter pictures and youtube videos directly imported from a few sites.
Twitpic also has a full integration with Twitter.
My question is : Are there some metatags that I can add so that Twitter pick up the pictures from my site ? A special declaration to make somewhere ? I wasn't able to find any documentation and I'm afraid this is only a special integration with authorized partners.
I would normally flag this as a dupe, but since I recently discovered two questions regarding this topic instead of one. I'll add them below . .
How do I add an image to a tweet or how does twitter decide which image urls to render
Display media in tweet via API?
. . also Twitter is releasing an API related to the images, however it's not out yet.

I've noticed that some recent tweets have media associated with them, for example photos from TwitPic or Flickr and videos from Youtube. You can see them on the Twitter website directly, so it's more than just a link. My thinking is that Twitter has formed these partnerships with these select suppliers of media, being Flickr, Twitpic and such.
I'm looking to automate some tweeting from an image gallery. Yet, I do not wish to upload these photos to another place. I want to host them myself and then embed/refer to them from a tweet. Yet, they should also be seen inline.
Is such a thing possible?
2017 edit: Looks like you can get a media_id via POST media/upload and then pass the id into POST statuses/update.
2014 edit: You can add media to tweets using POST statuses/update_with_media.
Original 2011 answer: No, you can't embed media into a tweet, nor can you upload photos to Twitter.
The "embedded" media you see is just Twitter scraping the URL for the photo or video, and showing it directly within Twitter, saving users from needing to click on the link to view the media. And Twitter only scrapes media for certain popular sites.
If you want Twitter.com users to see your images inline, you'll need to upload images to one of the popular image sites you mentioned, and have its URL in your tweet.
If you still want to drive traffic to your site, you could also include your gallery's URL within the same tweet.
But keep in mind that not everyone uses Twitter via Twitter.com; there are a plethora of Twitter clients available, and I doubt many feature inline media scraping.
I'd suggest just linking to your gallery/images, and not worry about uploading them elsewhere.
You can do all this and more. (and Twitter DOES allow you to upload images). Look at the documentation for Twitter cards.

I am an iOS developer and I am writing an app which needs to take statuses from my Facebook page and and display them in my app.
Does the Facebook API support that?
If it does, can anyone give a link for some tutorials or explain how can I make this?
I know that API supports an RSS feed but i don't found how to feed my statuses.
If you're using a Facebook page, you can easily use the graph API to query for posts made by that page. For example, for Starbucks:
http://graph.facebook.com/Starbucks/posts
You can simply load this in your browser to see the format the data comes back in, and all that's needed to access this data is a simple HTTP request. You can replace Starbucks with your Page's ID or username to get your Page's posts. These come back in JSON, which should be fairly easy to handle on your end.
Yes, the Facebook Graph API allows you to access your profile and extract any information you'd like from it.
