Replies to a particular tweet, Twitter API
Is there a good way to detect whether a tweet was a reply to another tweet.
Right now I'm thinking of checking the first character of the tweet - if it's an #, then it's a reply. But this would also select tweets like #veosotano did an awesome commit today.
So my question is, whether there are any better ways to detect replies?
Every tweet has several attribues starting in "in_reply_to"... I'd guess that if these exist, then the tweet is a reply:

They will also help you determine to whom this is a reply, and to what tweet.

I'm trying to record visits to my site, but I keep getting crawlers accidentally setting off my code. Is there any way in rails controllers to determine whether a user is a bot such as googlebot, etc?
You can check HTTP headers, particularly the user agent string.

Most friendly bots have "bot" in their user agent.
Another suggestion is to use something like Google Analytics to track your visits. It's way better than implementing your own.

This is a newbie question and may not have an answer. I want to visit a website on an iPhone/iPad and also gather and search all the information about the website. For example, If I search for a book and a page pops up I want to be able to read in the genres it falls under (Fiction, Fantasy, romance, Adventure, etc...) Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated!
You can fetch website content(usually in HTML format) using ASIHTTPRequest or AFNetworking, then parse the HTML data, get the links of sub-pages. You may want to check How to Parse HTML on iOS.

I want to sending bulk SMS with Twilio is this possible with Twilio exists API. I have searching few hours with google, but can't find acceptable answers. So, I decide to asking at here. Thanks in advance.
SMS and MMS Quickstart Tutorial
This sample is using a dictionary to send messages to group of people, see at following sample code in above link.
// make an associative array of people we know, indexed by phone number
var people = new Dictionary<string,string>() {
{"+14158675309","Curious George"},
{"+14158675310","Boots"},
{"+14158675311","Virgil"}
};
More Over as You have mentioned BULK Messaging I would like you to have a look at their policy of Do's and Dont's also at this link
and look for section Sending mass marketing or bulk messaging using Twilio long code phone numbers
Have a look at
REST API: Short Codes
REST API: Messages
Yes and no, yes you can send 'batch' MMS by iterating thru a list of numbers you want to send to, but if you plan on sending a lot, you are going to want to lease a short-code (for about $1000/month) in order to qualify for the higher sending limits.
With a regular number you can send at most one message per second. With a shortcode, you can up that to 30 messages per second.
You might be able to get away with low-level 'bulk' sms on a regular twilio number, but don't be surprised if you get shut down if you are spamming or violating the terms of use (see Boosters post above for the link).

How to search twitter for keywords
(3 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have used twitter api. I want to fetch tweets that contain a specific word for my application. like if a user types "iphone" then all the tweets containing that keyword should be fetched from twitter. How can i do it ? and should i use streaming api or the REST api? please help. The main reason for asking is the REST only gives the top 1500 tweets , but i need more. And the streaming gives real time tweets. so i don't know which one to use. or is there a way to get more then 1500 tweets using REST?
The Twitter API supports doing searches, by querying the /search/tweets endpoint.
Reference documentation
If you are worried about running into the API limit, then offload the calls to your client by making the calls via JSONP.

Dealing with < in tw:counturl addthis plugin
(2 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have added a Addthis plugin for blogspot for social networking sharing. The tweet count button for some reason is showing zero always, though the link has been tweeted multiple times.
I have verified using http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=
My blog website is http://rohit-cricket.blogspot.in/2012/10/turning-twenty-three-and-counting.html
There is no point of pasting code here, as Addthis expands when the page is loaded. It can be seen using Inspect element of google chrome.
Please help
Twitter describes a couple possibilities as to why your count may not be incrementing:
To improve performance we cache the count before displaying it. The cache is updated frequently but on some occasions it may look like your count is not increasing while the cache is updated. In addition, the count only includes public Tweets meaning a Tweet from a protected account will not cause an increase.
Additionally, there is currently a requirement that your server support HTTP HEAD requests in order to update the count properly. An easy way to check this is to use the command-line curl program, passing the -I (capital i) flag. A successful request should have a HTTP 200 OK response

Also, try updating the link to tweet:
<a class="addthis_button_tweet" tw:counturl="http://yoururltocount.com/">
