twitter.txt?
If I pin a toot, it should grab the whole thread and archive the text. Get to work! I don't even know what I'm paying you for.
like this but generalizable twitter-fiction-reader.bugsplat.info
I think they’re forbidden by Twitter ToS from doing that.
I think you’re not allowed to make a site that scrapes Twitter onto flat web pages.
There’s sort of no such thing as a “public URL”. You’re still bound by Twitter ToS; they’ll C&D.
… is my understanding of why everything in the universe formats things as tweets.
You can definitely do that with your own tweets! Sorry! I just don’t think you can use Twitter to do it to others.
It’s time for some game theory
basically, an autoblogificator for @zeynep and @pwnallthethings to use
but it already exists
I'm definitely going to find some new mechanisms. Like a log, a captain's log, that lives on the web maybe?
Binary log. Interesting. But that's a mouthful. Will people be able to say this? Maybe an abbreviation?
yes! A bi-Lo!
That's it!
I hereby propose BiLo as the only sensible contraction of Binary Log.
We could shorten it to "blog".
Or systemd.
That's too weird.
No to SystemD then?
please please please do this. your stuff is 🔥🔥but it's hard to read it all in twitter form.
is composing in the twitter client key to the tweetstorm freedom of action?
what if it was the text of a tweet with an intent url next to it? lots of sites do that I think
how about a browser ext or bookmarklet that scrapes a storify and generates flat text on the fly?
a first approximation that @anildash mentioned the other day: tweetstorms.gomix.me/mendel
i want to go to computer heaven
Seems like they provide a reasonable API for this without having to scrape: dev.twitter.com/rest/reference… . Thanks for the idea!
tweetstorms in text form often end sounding strange and unreadable though. and not just the ones about GAME THEORY
I did that for tweet storms. Uses copy and paste and text cleanup. @vaurorapub
hm. I could adapt noterlive.com to do that. I avoid the "displaying tweets" thing by generating both at once
