The demise of Mitter
The first post I can find about Mitter was in 2007, which makes it about 3 years old. It is one of my longest living personal projects.
Or better, it was. As for yesterday, I decided I had enough of it. So Mitter is, officially, unmaintained.
I posted most of the reasons for that in this blog recently. The biggest one is the way Twitter is ha [...]
OAuth paranoia
One day after I posted the lack of respect for OSS apps in Twitter “ecosystem” (a word they seem to like a lot these days), they announced that the API request for trending topics will now return the promoted tweets.
As I was reading this announcement, the paranoid hat fell on my head.
As I explained before, OAuth allows Twitter t [...]
Porque o Tadeu Schmidt tem que calar ...
Tudo começou como uma brincadeira no Twitter: O já “batido” cala-boca Galvão, que se murmurava por aí a tempos, conseguiu ser um “trending topic” mundial na rede social. Por uma coincidência, isso aconteceu um pouco antes do técnico da seleção discutir com um jorna [...]
A bit about LOLCODE
Couldn’t help but laugh:
I can’t seem to find a LOLCODE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE)
API wrapper for Twitter. I was hoping to write my next Twitter
application in LOLCODE, but its very hard to do so without one.
Can anyone help me get started with a basic program? My code so far
isn’t working
HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?

(This is getting long, doesn’t it?)
One more point to analyze the future of Mitter: The Alternatives.
Right now, the space that Twitter fills is getting crowded. Not that Twitter was there first, but it surely is the widest, most recognized service in the area. And, most of all, I’ll list one the ones I have an account.
Twitter ( [...]
Mitter and the Future Part Deux: Comm...
Still in the line “What will happen to Mitter now that there are more options around” let me say that one of the things that are driving me back from Twitter development (or, better saying, developing Twitter applications.) is the community of developers.
When I started Mitter development, as usual I decided to lurk around the Twi [...]
Mitter, Maemo, Identi.ca and the Futu...
When I started Mitter, my plan was to create a client capable of updating my Twitter status using my N800. Since I could carry it everywhere because of its small size, it would be perfect. And I could do that using Python and PyGTK (PyHildon, but it’s almost the same thing.) My plan was quite simple: write a client small enough but capa [...]

Google Maps + Twitter + USA Elections...
It looks like the guys at Twitter did some Mashup using Twitter and Google Maps to point who is talking what about the elections.
I really wish they could do something like that here in Australia.

After some fights, I finally managed to make Mitter look nice. Now I just need to add some menus, an update status [...]
