Ankit's Weblog: Twitter + Orkut = Twitkut

  • Praveen · 9 months ago
    hey Ankit,

    Can you make an option to use identi.ca instead of twitter? It has a twitter API (http://laconi.ca/trac/wiki/TwitterCompatibleAPI), so you just need to allow one to enter the url or select identi.ca (the laconi.ca software can be installed on any server, so option to enter the url would be nice).

    Hi Praveen,

    Thanks for linking me to the identi.ca API. Although, not many people use identi.ca as compared to twitter, I looked at the API and it doesn't seem too inconvenient to add it. I could include an additional option for users to display their identi.ca updates instead of twitter updates.
    I am a little burdened with work these days but in sometime I do plan to come out with a new version of Twitkut. So, hang on! :)

    The only application I am using on my profile page at Orkut ... I love it .. But seems suddenly it has stopped updating my activity stream .. I check my profile and the application page , the tweets are there .. Only its not updating the activity feed ...

    Thanks for the great app though ..
  • Ankit · 1 year ago
    @Shahab It can only update the activity stream 3 times a day ( another limitation of the Orkut API ) So if it has already updated thrice in a day, it won't update again

    Hey
    Am using twitkut dude. However, it just doesnt show current updates...instead its showing tweets which i sent months ago! Need some troubleshooting here.
  • Ankit · 11 months ago
    I will need your twitter ID and your Orkut profile page link to help you out :) By the way, make sure your updates are not protected and try uninstalling and then reinstalling the application.

    Hello there,
    Cool app. Need to know is it possible to use the Orkut API for a different application not a Orkut APP say like Delicious/fb to display my Orkut Profile on some other APP?

    how often does it import the tweets?
  • Ankit · 9 months ago
    Whenever someone views Twitkut, it gets the tweets and stores them in that particular browser's cache for an hour. So if you visit Twitkut on your computer, you can only see the newer updates after an hour ( unless you empty the browser's cache )

    However, if someone views your profile on some other computer, he will be able to see your latest updates.

    Another feature OpenSocial currently lacks is that there is no way for the developer to keep track of who or how many users are using his application. I feel this should mocospace.com have been one of the first features that should have been implemented in the API, to allow developers to see analysis of their app usage from within Orkut.

    Hi,
    I installed twitcut on orkut but I can't figure out how to set it up. When I click on my apps twitcut the page only shows
    Twikut Home > Twikut
    and I can either remove the app or report it

    How do I set my twitter account and so on?

    Thanks

    Congrats on a very useful app, Ankit!

    Does it update the Twitter status on Orkut only when the user logs in to the Orkut account? Or is the update automatic without requiring logging in to Orkut? (I see in the comments below that the update happens thrice a day, but it seems to me that an Orkut log is required)

    Hi Ankit,

    Thanks for making Twitkut, its a great app. I am in need of some help with the Java Opensocial API, I am wondering if you can help with this. I am building an app for my research and want to update the status from a desktop java application. I can access my profile information. I can also retrieve my status update, but I am unable to set my status. I am not sure if I need to set some additional permissions? Any input from you will be really nice.

    Thanks,
