Sign in with oAuth where Twitter.com is blocked
In two days, Twitter will start to shut down basic authentication on their API. The only way to connect to the API will then be by using oAuth. This will force anyone who wants to use a Twitter web app to give that app access to their account. Every app has to redirect them to Twitter.com to do that.
However, in some places Twitter.com is being blocked – by censoring governments or overly zealous system administrators. That means that users in those places can no longer use Twitter. But as an app developer, you can quite easily build a workaround for some of those users.
Usability detail bij Twitters Tweet Button
Sinds gisteren kun je bij artikelen een Tweet Button plaatsen: als de bezoeker daarop klikt krijgt hij een twitter boxje met een door jou bepaalde tekst erin. Dat is handig, maar waar ik pas echt enthousiast van werd was een klein detail: slechts een deel van de tekst is geselecteerd.
Does Twitter turn its back on Chinese web users?
This week, Twitter has announced that it’s changing the way people sign in to a method called oAuth. From a security point of view, the new sign in system offers several advantages.
However, users in censored countries like China and Iran will no longer be able to use Twitter through the web. Until now, Twitter has not yet come up with a solution for this.
Displaying post dates: why Twitter forces you to think
Everyone just seems to love the way Twitter displays its post dates: 5 minutes ago, about 9 hours ago, etcetera. It’s one of those examples where everybody just copies everybody without giving it a second thought. And yes, it certainly has a nice tone of voice, and it looks really user-friendly. But it isn’t. It forces you to think.
Fortunately, it’s easy to improve this elapsed time notation. In this post, I’ll explain how to make it work, and I offer a php function that you can just drop into your project.
