Saving Twitter Conversations
Earlier today, I asked for help with saving Twitter conversations to my blog. Quite a few people responded (including a few programmers). I’ll be interested in seeing what develops, but I’m also happy to show you that @whozman helped me generate the following thread based on who responded to my two general queries…
wampy: i use twitter mainly from my phone…would love to see a client that lets me forward single tweets or conversations to email
about 3 hours ago
Yardboy: I actually played around with that a bit but not all clients populate the “in response to status” field on a post to twitter.
about 4 hours ago
areyouscreening: I think that already exists actually… Maybe it’s a WP plugin I’m thinking of though

five: That wouldn’t be hard to do using the Twitter API.

gurubrandon: I’m all over hat. I think that would be awesome. But.. I think it might already be done.

gotham158: Yah that would be pretty cool, be cool to integrate it with google reader too.

brewstermax: Go for it.
about 5 hours ago
FreddyGipson: While it is cool you’re developing this, why not make it open source? That way many other bloggers may use it too.

dhiraj: I’m already using sweetcron for this. What did you have in mind? A wordpress plugin? http://lifestream.dhirajgupta.com

vikc: check out http://bostontweet.com He is doing something similar to that Twitter service you speak of.

Shih_Wei: It is unfortunate that many great convos taking place on Twitter couldn’t be better preserved for followup or reference.
about 5 hours ago
seb86: That can be done easily using there API. I might do one for Wordress. Great idea.

Digital_Puddin: that would be an awesome app Chris I would love to contribute to that as well

sdreinhart1975: very easy… just need to generate a twitter originated feed… maybe add “save to blog” buttons and generate an RSS sub to

uknowirock: Start developing……
about 5 hours ago
themachack: that is the first tweet that you have done without spamming, well done and happy birthday.
about 5 hours ago
James_W: Maybe you could work with a new API
about 5 hours ago
PassTheBoll: I would like that, too. Even a service that just easily displays conversations. the @Replies menu doesn’t work that well.
about 2 hours ago
lhamil64: Could it be done with RSS?
about 3 hours ago
r3dnax3la: yay you joined me in the Beats by Dre club w00t :D

mrichman: Does twitter have an api to get all responses to a single tweet?
about 4 hours ago
jdntx: you could start a #cp hashtag or something like it and have a bot search for and post all tweets with that tag.
about 4 hours ago
butterflymeaway: I wish I could sort my tweets/tweeple so it would be easier to follow conversations better. Or is that already possible?
about 4 hours ago
gmdclark: Almost possible: the problem is lack of reply-threading, and tweet a bunch Chris.
about 4 hours ago
dustinson: I’ve thought that a nice FishBone diagram for the conversations and time lines would be nice.

sfallows: why can’t I find any good documentation for your wicketpixie theme

I’ve given him some initial feedback, but it only took a few tweaks (and additions to my CSS) to make it look picture perfect. I’ve needed this for such a long time; I’ll finally be able to generate a full post based on responses.

Cool. I like it. Are you going to post instructions on how to do it when you’ve got it all figured out?

Great Twitter page. Could I have a copy of this twitter function please as I am creating a twitter plugin for my Wordpress theme and this is something I would definitely like to have. Can it be also limit on how many Twitter responses are displayed? Thank you.

It’s like a mini version of Twitter. How much time do you actually allow people to respond before cutting off the rest? Of course when you Tweet something else, the responses are gonna get all mixed up.

Your not going to litter your blog with it are you? I’ve noticed your blog posts are getting more cluttered with extra stuff… Still not sure if I’m feeling positively or negatively towards you doing this. I just hope that you will start writing a bit more because it’s always nice to hear your opinion in whats happening in the technology industry.

@whozman should package it up and sell it. I’d probably buy a copy and I’m sure a bunch of other people would too. :)

I have started using LoudTwitter. I have set it up to send my Twitters to my e-mail at the end of every 24 hours. If you do not have Blogger, LoudTwitter can also post directly to your blog.
I like sending it to my e-mail so that I can make sure to take out personal interactions that are not already filtered out (via excluding replies). I then go through and further explain/show the things I have been doing to readers. Yet another way to make the blog personal . :-)
