With Twitter you can use http://twitter.com/home?status=sometext to twitter something. Is there a similar possibility for Googlebuzz?
The Post to Google Buzz API is pretty easy to use. You simply construct the URI like this:
http://www.google.com/buzz/post?message={your_message}&url={your_url}
There's also a JavaScript API that generates the buttons for you:
<a href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post"
class="google-buzz-button" title="Google Buzz"
data-message="{your_message}"
data-url="{your_url}"
data-locale="en"
data-button-style="normal-count"></a>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js">
</script>

I am having a twitter tweet button, I am using knockout js, how can I track the number of events using universal google analytics?
Tweet
I have the below script in my knockout js which is not working
$('.is-voting-complete').on('click', '.twitter-share-button', function () {
gaTracker.send('event', 'Social', 'Twitter', 'Tweet');
});
I am guessing there is a iframe which twitter is incorporating , because of which the on click is not firing.
can somebody please help me with this
twittr is not defined because you have not included Twitters's widget.js. You should include the following before the closing body tag.
<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
you can create a button like this
<a class="tw" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet? text=Check%20this%20out&related=episod&url=TheUrl"></a>
then bind google analytics function to the tweet event
twttr.ready(function (twttr) {
twttr.events.bind('tweet', function(e){
if(!e) return;
ga('send', 'social', 'twitter', 'tweet', theURL);
}
});
I have created a plugin called gasotracker. It works with twitter, but you are able to track other social events on your site.
I am trying to integrate OAuth with my chrome extension. I am following the tutorial by google: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tut_oauth.html
I create ExOauth from the background.js (defined by me and it is loaded by background.html).
var oauth = ChromeExOAuth.initBackgroundPage({
'request_url': 'https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken',
'authorize_url': 'https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken',
'access_url': 'https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken',
'consumer_key': 'anonymous',
'consumer_secret': 'anonymous',
'scope': 'https://docs.google.com/feeds/',
'app_name': Test app'
});
oauth.authorize(onAuthorized);
Here is the OnAuthorized method:
onAuthorized = function () {
// Start my application logic.
};
Am I missing something here? When I load the extension, it opens up several "Redirecting...." tabs.
The tutorial seems to be missing one file. If you open chrome_ex_oauth.html, you'll see that it tries to load 3 js files:
<script type="text/javascript" src="chrome_ex_oauthsimple.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="chrome_ex_oauth.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="onload.js"></script>
The onload.js file is not provided. The OAuth contacts example provides such a file, with the following content:
window.onload = function() {
ChromeExOAuth.initCallbackPage();
}
After adding this file, it seems to work just fine.
I know the Question is a bit older but i had the same Problem.
I made the mistake that i want to authenticate two oauth endpoint and call both times the ChromeExOAuth.initBackgroundPage({})
Obviously that's wrong cause i dont want to init my background page twice.
Maybe using the ..._oauthsimple.js will fix that
As we know Twitter.com was down in yesterday(2012/07/26) some period of time. In that time my website home page somewhat unresponsive. The homepage was trying to load the twitter feed and failing, and thus other page elements in my site appears broken, like a jquery slider has trouble loading correctly, because its trying to load the twitter API.
Hove to fix this to homepage ignore twitter feed if the site notices that it is down, and displaying a short error notice in place of the feed?
I am using following customize twitter widget (got from here) to show latest 2 twitts in Home page.
<div id='twitter_div'>
<ul id='twitter_update_list'>
</ul>
</div>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
// to filter #replies in twitter feed
function filterCallback( twitter_json )
{ var result = [];for(var index in twitter_json)
{ if(twitter_json[index].in_reply_to_user_id == null) {result[result.length] = twitter_json[index]; }
if( result.length==2 ) break;}twitterCallback2(result); }
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/DUOBoots.json?callback=filterCallback&count=10'></script>
You should delay load your twitter feed. The rest of your page will load right away and if/when twitter goes down it won't block the rest of your page. It's good practice to do this anyway.
See https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/3369 for a discussion with some examples on using jquery to do this.
I'm trying to use the twitter API with library jsOAuth.

<div id="message">Loading..</div>
<script src="jsOAuth-1.3.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var oauth = OAuth({
consumerKey: "-MY-KEY-",
consumerSecret: "MY-SECRET"
});
Updated
oauth.get("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json?callback=?", success, failure);
function success(data){
$("#message").html("Sucess: " + data.text);
var timeline = jQuery.parseJSON(data.text);
console.log(timeline);
$.each(timeline, function (element){
console.log(element.text);
});
}
function failure(data) {
console.log("Throw rotten fruit, something failed");
$("#message").html("Error" );
}
</script>

Questions
What am I doing wrong?
How can I use the twitter API in my PC.
If you can send me I would appreciate any examples.
Thank you all.
What am I doing wrong?
You are trying to make an AJAX request to Twitter. You are violating cross domain access policies - you cannot access data on the Twitter domain.
How can I use the Twitter API on my PC?
Pick one :
Use JSONP
Use a server-side proxy
Store your code on a file:// path, which removes the cross domain restrictions
Change your browser's security settings to allow this kind of access.
I have styled the unlikely ones in italic.
Also, as an experienced Twitter developer, I have one important note to make about your code: you're using Javascript to access the API. While using JS to do that isn't disallowed, using OAuth in javascript is very unsafe and your application will be blocked from the Twitter API if you used this code on a website.
Hope you are having a good time.
I am creating a website where when users Tweet a wordpress blog entry then they get points on the websites.
So basically, if a user Tweets that entry on his Twitter then we would give him some points to use on the website (not money). Although this thing is plausible with Facebook but not with Twitter in my knowledge.
I am willing to try to both ways by Twitter Tweet Button or TweetMeme Retweet Facility. However, I could not find a facility for a callback at neither of these.
I am implementing a similar functionality in Facebook and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with using FBML JS SDK. HOwever, if something similar can be achieved with Twitter then it would be awesome.
Would love to hear more from you guys,
Kind Regards,

They've fixed this with the intents function:
https://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents-events
twttr.events.bind('tweet', function(event) {
// Do something there
});
or for clicking
twttr.events.bind('click', function(event) {
var click_type = event.region;
});
using Twitters #anywhere api, you can set an onTweet function that does something when someone tweets.
here is a 6-step tutorial, see number 4
A default tweetBox can be called after the element with the comments class with the following snippet.
twttr.anywhere(function(twitter) {
twitter(".comments").tweetBox();
});
So if you want a custom label, content, and a callback when the tweet has been sent, use this code.
twitter(".comments").tweetBox({
label: 'What do you think about this article?',
defaultContent: '#nettuts ',
onTweet: function(plain, html){
// Actions when tweet is sent
}
});
opening tweet intent pop from JS code will send a callback. You need to put your tweet URL in herf of anchor tag
HTML:
<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=itismytext&url=http://google.com"> twitter share</a>
JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function(){
twttr.events.bind('tweet', function(event) {
console.log(event);
// OR
alert(JSON.stringify(event));
});
});
