>>never really considered myself good enough to pursue it though Self-doubt is an evil, evil thing. Don't let it hold you back. I landed an opportunity to interview at $REDACTEDBUT…

loved tcfast.com - I'd like to see it back online as well

As someone who within the last two weeks picked up app engine and created an MVP of my own http://www.pubcontweets.com , I can not only relate to your story but also applaud you fo…

I do in fact use the streaming api but that doesn't help with things I need, such as getting screen names based on a twitter id, and getting lists of followers for thousands of peo…

what is the best way to get whitelisted for more than 360/hour API calls? I'm trying to do some network analysis and data mining and am held up by the API limit. I've applied about…

thanks! Copy/paste fail! Fixed it.
