A piece of feedback we regularly get from Streaming API consumers is that the bandwidth required to maintain a connection can be very large for high-traffic connections such as the Firehose and Site Streams. As the number of Tweets flowing through Twitter's servers grows, this has been a bigger and bigger problem. I'm happy to announce that we've started rolling out code which will help address this, by sending gzipped streams to consumers who request them.
After we released Twitter Bootstrap less than six months ago, we have been amazed at the community that built up around our front-end toolkit and appreciative of the contributors the project has seen. On January 31st, the Twitter Open Source Program Office is hosting an open source summit in celebration of the upcoming release of Twitter Bootstrap 2.
Today we introduce a new pilot program for distributing Verified Account @handles and public profile metadata to developers, media and content services, and consumer device manufacturers. The Echo Nest, Gracenote, and Rovi are the first partners in this program, which will scale the distribution of Twitter account data for integration in consumer-facing apps. Developers in the Twitter ecosystem can now work with these three partners to integrate Verified Account @handles and Tweets into their music and entertainment services.
It’s been great getting out and meeting so many awesome developers the past few months at our Teatime events, so we’re throwing another one. This time we’re excited to be hosting a developer event in Berlin, Germany.
The event will take place on January 26th from 6pm to 9pm, and we’ll be covering a variety of topics including the latest platform developments, an overview of our API suite, and an in-depth technical session. To sign up and attend, please register here:
Today we’re launching a new version of Twitter that makes it even easier to stay close to everything that interests you. We're also excited to introduce new tools that bring Tweets to your website, and new ways to share with our Tweet buttons.
To help build upon an already thriving mobile ecosystem, today we’re excited to launch new resources for mobile development, beginning with the Twitter framework for iOS. Since the launch of iOS 5, we have seen an incredible number of applications incorporate the Twitter framework, including the launch partners we highlight at http://ios.twitter.com. The iOS integration enables simple mobile sharing, and reflects our commitment to mobile Twitter integrations.
