  1. choonkeat: lazythread was doing via jsonp search @author (user doing import still needed to manually clean up slurped content) what other mechanisms available? 6 months ago
  2. iamclovin: Hmm you mean from the Twitter public timeline? I think you need to look at the 'in_response_to_id' which afaik is not reliable. @choonkeat has a project which tries to do that tho: http://lazythread.choonkeat.com 6 months ago
  3. choonkeat: experiment removed. could contrib that code to icht if it'll be helpful 6 months ago
  4. chuyeow: @choonkeat http://lazythread.choonkeat.com is redirecting to http://blog.choonkeat.com/weblog/chew-choon-keat.html the good thing is I've never read that page before! 6 months ago
  5. chuyeow: @iamclovin Why is "in_response_to_id" unreliable? 6 months ago
  6. tardate: more like: I tweet and start to get a few answers, then think 'dang, should be a thread'. Maybe if you show me my sent items in canhazthread, and give me the ability to shuttle them in/out of the canhazthread view? 6 months ago
  7. tardate: @chuyeow main probs I've seen with in_response_to_id is not guaranteed depending on how user tweets or what client s/w they use 6 months ago
  8. iamclovin: @chuyeow Ah what I meant is that a person could start a completely new tweet from any Twitter client (instead of replying to a tweet, but it will still be a reply to another tweet) and we wouldn't be able to capture that right? 6 months ago
  9. chuyeow: @iamclovin Oh that! I thought there it was an API issue. 6 months ago
  10. chuyeow: @iamclovin Well, importing replies on a best effort basis is probably good enough right? 6 months ago
  11. iamclovin: @chuyeow yup i think that's what lazythread did (probably with a time threshold, but that is unreliable as well) 6 months ago
  12. iamclovin: @tardate hmm yeah interesting idea re: shuttling tweets in/out. Will note that down. 6 months ago
  13. tardate: this is what prompted the tot btw: http://twitter.com/Padmasree/status/3655433682 .. was wondering if canhazthread would be the thing to come to the rescue in that kind of situation. sounds like lazythread was almost there.. 6 months ago
  14. choonkeat: @chuyeow lazythread shd be feature instead of its own product. server was full so i took it down. can try it here http://lazythread.choonkeat.com/messages/20 js is simple view source. useful for icht? 6 months ago
  15. iamclovin: @choonkeat thanks for reviving lazythread again..will take a look at the source. 6 months ago
