I need a Twitter widget that isn't hideous - twitter

I need a Twitter widget that isn't chunky and disgusting like the official one (http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_profile) and more like this one on some guy's blog (http://kelwynshade.blogspot.com/).
I've checked his source, obviously - and it appears to be part of the Google Friend Connect service, which seems like it aims to solve a lot of problems I just don't have. And by that I mean it's bloated as hell.
Please advise.

Okay, ultimately I determined that I had enough CSS control over the stock widget to make do. If anyone has a better solution though I'd still like to hear it.

I dont know if this helps but u can check the post to twitter app from here:

Hope it helpes:)

Sharing text message to Instagram Direct

I want to find way sharing text message to Instagram Direct. I already find URL scheme in Instagram dev doc, but there is no one word about sharing to direct. I also check some third part libraries - nothing helpful. If sharing to Direct is impossible with using URL scheme, maybe you know another way for this. Thanks for all advice.
Unfortunately this is not possible but other alternatives you could try is to screen shot you text messages or copying and pasting your messages in Instagram direct and sending them.
I hope this has been helpful.

Any twitter api or complete solutions for monodroid?

Looking for good solution for Twitter login and posting something... but there is no idea for now. How to do it in xamarine( IOS mono has complete solution, but monodroid...) help me please, if somebody knows how to do it.
If you just want to post something then you can easily do this by sending an Intent for use by an external app - e.g. see https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/blob/v3/Plugins/Cirrious/Share/Cirrious.MvvmCross.Plugins.Share.Droid/MvxShareTask.cs#L19
If you need a more complete solution then libraries like Tweetsharp have had MonoDroid ports/branches at various times, but I don't know the current status of any of these.
You might also want to take a look at Xamarin.Social. This component will let you tweet from your Xamarin.Android application.

YouTube's search function in IOS

http://coolappsman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/YouTube-App-Search.jpg
Hello, I am looking for some implementation tips for YouTube's search-function. I want to implement exactly the same thing but without the function "displaying tips based on the search-term".
With other words, I want a simpler version. How can I make the NavigatorBar disappear when the user clicks on the "search-button" and then make the NavigatorBar appear again after the user searched what they looked for? If you have seen the app its pretty clear what I am trying to explain.
Anyone know a good tutorial to implement something like this? What methods do this require? I am grateful for all tips. Thanx!
Jesper.
Concept you want to implement is quite hard to do, that is highly customized control. Instead of showing results in the same view, a new controller is pushed with results table.
However, you can start with UISearchDisplayController. See Apple's TableSearch example.

Anyone know which image uploader facebook uses?

Want to add a nice multiple image upload feature to a site so I figured use one that most people already know. This is a .Net MVC App
Anyone know what Facebook uses?
If not, then does anyone know of one that is similar?
Their own? I'm pretty sure when get to facebook like scale everything becomes modified and customized so suit your needs.
This looks like it will work perfectly and seems pretty close to FB:

How to get rid of stupid "pad" labels produced by RTML functions?

I am unlucky to be in charge of maintaining some old Yahoo! Store built using their RTML-based platform.
Recently I've noticed that HTML code generated by some RTML functions is sprinkled all over with "padding images" (or whatever is the conventional name for those 1x1 pixel images used to enforce layout). I have nothing against using such images, but... all those images are supplied with an ALT attribute like this:
<img href="http://.../image1x1.gif" alt="pad">
With all due respect to the original authors of RTML, but they must have been smoking something when they came up with this "accessibility enhancement"... :-(
Anyway, here are my questions:
Does anybody know a list of all RTML functions that generate HTML with all these "pad" images?
Is there any way to get rid of all those alt="pad" attributes without rewriting a lot of RTML code?
NB: This may sound a little cynical, but improved accessibility is not the main goal here. The main goal is to stop exposing those moronic alt="pad" attributes to Google and other smart search engines. So client-side scripting is not going to help, as far as I know.
Thank you!
P.S. Probably, most of you are really lucky and never heard of RTML. Because if somebody would establish a prize for software products based on
commercial success
------------------
usability
ratio, this RTML-based "platform" would probably win the first place.
P.P.S. Apparently someone from Yahoo! finally listened, because I can no longer find those silly "pad" tags in the RTML generated for our store. Nevertheless, one of the ideas offered in response to my original question does provide a very practical solution - not just to the original problem but to any similar problem with RTML platform. See the winning answer - it's really good.
The only way I see is to have your own website front-end that will filter whatever you want from the RTML site....
for example, your rtml site is at http://rtmlusglysite.yahoo.com/store/XYZ01134 , you could host a simple PHP front-end at http:://www.example.com that would be acting like a "filtering" HTTP web proxy, so http://rtmlusglysite.yahoo.com/store/XYZ01134/item1234.rtml would be accessed by http://www.example.com/item1234.html
It's not an ideal solution, but it should work, and you could do some more fancy stuff.
Nice try from the other posters, but there is a very simple RTML command that will do it. . .
TEXT PAT-SUBST s GRAB
MULTI
HEAD
BODY
TEXT #var-with-alt-tag-equals-pad-in-it
frompat "alt=\"pad\""
topat ""
The above RTML will find all instances of alt="pad" and replace it with nothing.
Well you're right on RTML being relatively untraveled :)
Do you have a way to add your own attributes to these images tags? If so, would it be possible to override the alt attribute? If you specify alt="", I would think that would override Yahoo's... Otherwise consider putting a useful alt tag in there for the blind and dialup types.
It's the first time I'm hearing about this platform, but here is an idea: if you can add javascript to the pages, you could write a function that will run after the page has loaded and remove all the alt="pad" attributes from the page.
Unfortunately this solutions works only with browsers that know about scripting, so lynx or some other text based browsers might not support it.
I have shared a link official RTML guide from yahoo. Hope it will help. Thanks!
