  • Reading up on Twitter API stuff and OAuth before heading to SF for @Chirp. #
  • Boarded and almost en route to Oakland. #
  • @jkuramot groovy, I will look for you there. in reply to jkuramot #
  • It's a gorgeous evening in the East Bay. Just waiting for BART to take me into the city. #
  • Good grief I have completely forgotten how to navigate this city. #
  • Getting ready to head over to the Palace of Fine Arts for @Chirp. #
  • Badge and tshirt acquired. #
  • Wondering what's vegan on the breakfast table at @chirp since nothing's labeled. #
  • @thesethings I did not know that! Sadly just the bagels are vegan. Mmm dry bagels for breakfast. in reply to thesethings #
  • Yay, finally connected to the Wifi! #chirp #
  • Twitter API gets 3 billion requests a day. #chirp #
  • Major goal going forward is to give lots more guidance and support to Twitter developers. #chirp #
  • Now @ev is talking about Twitter's philosophy. #chirp #
  • "The open exchange of information has a positive impact on the world." #chirp #
  • 1st priority is Infrastructure: scalability, quality of service and rapid development. #chirp #
  • Scalability projects include FlockDB and moving to Cassandra. #chirp #
  • Recent QoS improvements include reduced error rates, reduced delivery failure and many killed bugs. #chirp #
  • Created a tool called "Murder" that uses bittorrent for rapid deployments. #chirp #
  • 30% of Twitter users are moble. Want to increase to 100%. #chirp #
  • 55 million tweets and 600 million search queries a day. Want to start building in relevance. #chirp #
  • Adding a "places" (points of interest) feature. #chirp #
  • @incanus77 Tentative date for BarCampPortland is 10/22-10/23. http://calagator.org/events/1250458519 in reply to incanus77 #
  • Roadmap: improving reliability, expanding capability, developer happiness. #chirp #
  • new api feature places: not only attach neighborhood and cities to tweet, but also add rich context. #chirp #
  • new streaming api feature: user streams: no rate limits, stream delivered in real-time #chirp #
  • (new api feature) annotations: developers can add arbitrary meta-data #chirp (nice! applause from audience) #
  • Will be launching dev.twitter.com, a central resource for Twitter devs. #chirp #
  • API documentation will now be auto-generated from codebase. (yay!) #chirp #
  • Created an API console for ease of testing. #chirp #
  • Implemented Watchmouse for external monitoring of API. #chirp #
  • Will.I.Am is surprise guest. Lots of camera flashes going off. #chirp #
  • "Twitter is a collective consciousness…you can now surf people's thoughts. It's dope!" (via Will.I.Am) #chirp #
  • No vegan offering for lunch even though the organizers assured me there would be. #chirp #
  • @thesethings thx! They apparently do have a meal for me and are tracking it down. in reply to thesethings #
  • Okay, lunch acquired. #
  • After hearing the words "substantial tax liability" from my accountant, I am every so grateful I no longer work for myself. #
  • four components of @anywhere: sign-in, hovercards, tweetbox, connect #chirp #
  • with @anywhere just a few lines of js can provide frictionless integration of twitter in the context of what users are already doing. #chirp #
  • @zenpuffin Amen! Congrats on the new gig, btw! They're gonna let you go to @osbridge, right? ;) in reply to zenpuffin #
  • Now @harrisj from the NYTimes is "demonstrating' (via mockups) @anywhere features. #chirp #
  • Awesome! dev.twitter.com is up! (via @episod). #chirp #
  • And @anywhere specific info available on http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere. #chirp #
  • On break. Snacks look good, but I don't have the energy to track someone down to find out if they're vegan or not. #chirp #
  • The soundtrack at #chirp has been quite interesting. #
  • @edavis10 Yup, it would be really helpful if conf organizers would label food with important ingredients (animal, common allergens, etc.) in reply to edavis10 #
  • @datachick At the conferences I help run, yes. At this one, they aren't doing so great with the vegan options. in reply to datachick #
  • Monetization platform: has to be organic and has to work everywhere tweets go, not just on twitter. #chirp #
  • promoted tweet campaigns link specific tweets to keyword searches and places those tweets at the top of search results. #chirp #
  • Anything you can do with a tweet, you can do with a promoted tweet. #chirp #
  • Will use a "resonance" score to decide which promoted tweets to display. #chirp #
  • Resonance measures all the ways that users interact with a tweet: retweet, replies, #tag clicks, avatar clicks, profile clicks, etc. #chirp #
  • @gilesgoatboy Knowing that you can ssh to/from an iPad makes me like it a bit more. in reply to gilesgoatboy #
  • Pricing will start on a CPM model and then move to an ROI model once resonance is understood better. #chirp #
  • Commercial accounts will have a unified dashboard and allow multiple tweet authors. #chirp #
  • There will be resellers for commercial accounts? Did I hear that correctly? #chirp #
  • @TriSimon Not that I know of, but @jkuramot coordinates Lunch 2.0 in Portland. And @wv2010 was the host for today's event. in reply to TriSimon #
  • I highly recommend walking to the second part of #chirp It's quite lovely out. #
  • @WebWallflower No, the #chirp dinner isn't all vegan. There were two items set aside for vegans. in reply to WebWallflower #
  • The acoustics in this building are making the ignite talks pretty much inaudible. #chirp #
  • @jennielees oh noes! I had to ask about the vegan signs. One plate of orzo was vegan, and so was one salad. #labelfail indeed in reply to jennielees #
  • @thesethings Yeah, I don't get how a company with a vegan co-founder could have such sparse vegan options at its conference. in reply to thesethings #
  • @thesethings What's a c-level vegan? in reply to thesethings #
  • @WebWallflower Thoughtful isn't really how I would describe it. Salad and plain pasta does not make a meal. They could do better. in reply to WebWallflower #
  • @thesethings Ev is vegan too! Now I'm really befuddled that they couldn't provide one decent vegan meal at their conference. in reply to thesethings #
  • Man, vegans (and near-vegans) who run and participate in events need to step up their game! #
  • @elegantmachines Love me some smarties! Just don't eat too many, or they'll make your tongue hurt. in reply to elegantmachines #
  • Ready for #chirp day 2. Come talk to me about @shopigniter or @osbridge! #
  • More talking, less tweeting for me today at #chirp Come find me if you want one of these stickurs. http://twitpic.com/1ftgvd #
  • @zenpuffin me too! it's dangerous (and illegal in many states) to ride while wearing headphones. in reply to zenpuffin #
  • @heroku where abouts are you at #chirp in reply to heroku #
  • Listening to OAuth talk by @episod and @raffi. #chirp http://twitpic.com/1fu8kl #
  • Glad to hear twitter will be turning off basic auth on the api in June. #chirp #
  • @ggoodale I can help you with that if you would like one of these http://twitpic.com/1ftgvd in reply to ggoodale #
  • Impromptu Artmaking at #chirp http://flic.kr/p/7TKUGH #
  • @adamd to be fair, Apache complains too if your DocRoot doesn't exist. in reply to adamd #
  • @ggoodale I'm hanging out in the middle of the couches. in reply to ggoodale #
  • Broke down and had a red bull so I could pay attention during the application showcase. #chirp #
  • @reidab on no! Glad the collision was low speed and that you're okay. in reply to reidab #
  • So far crowdreel and tap11 look most interesting. #chirp #
  • @geekygirldawn yum! I'm envious. in reply to geekygirldawn #
  • I sweat to Buddha that next year I'm doing my taxes in January. #
  • @ZenDirtZenDust lol, totally meant "swear". travel + conference + last minute tax rush has left me totally fried. in reply to ZenDirtZenDust #
  • Noshing on the glorious collard wraps that @PDXyogini made for me. nom nom nom. #
  • @addictedtotext I feel you. I haven't talked to my father in 8+ years. in reply to addictedtotext #
  • En route to Oakland airport and then on to Portland. Yay for short trips. #
