You got it. Punks like that been around for decades. Since they never actually code anything they talk big. Sure, programming is quick and easy. It's the bugs that take forever to work out. And any real programmer knows this.
lol, who needs to take the pill now. Try the red one, then the blue, should work for ya. The whole point is, TWITTER, fiasco that it is, should have this capability built into it, and not require running some custom app alongside tweetdeck. This is BASIC stuff, who the hell can eyeball a feed that has dozens or hundreds of follows for a specific user? And the app community is no better, this should already be out there ,and no , I'm not going to pay for it.
A trader shouldn't be following hundreds of follows. Just pick a few users or entities you like and then read only their commentary. You can even follow specific markets you're trading if/when they are discussed. App community has apps as I and others stated that weeds out whatever you don't want to see so that the stuff you see is only the stuff you want to see unless you really don't know what you're looking for and the latter implies you need to follow hundreds until you can figure out what you want to see.
You're talking out of your ass. Don't follow hundreds. Tweetdeck pops up an alert for 3 seconds (and you can adjust it!) I am looking at 75" worth of screen , cant stare at twitter all day. Fact is, twitter does suck, their programmers suck, and the platform sucks. Stock should probably be $5 by now
Twitter to offer premium version of Tweetdeck? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-t...gn=Feed:+reuters/businessNews+(Business+News)
Had Twitter left the original design as a stand alone software after they purchased it...I believe they would have had a strong interest in it for subscription purposes. At least they should have kept that option available with its web-base version. I actually thought for awhile after their purchase tweetdeck that it would eventually be used via a business model of subscription but that it would remain as a stand alone software. Now its just web-base. I'm not a software designer but it seems like stand alone software are a more expensive business model versus web-base versions because I've seen other companies do the same thing...purchase a stand alone software and then change it into a web-base only program. Maybe web-base programs in general have LESS conflicts/problems than stand alone software ?
Actually Twitter doesn't really suck per se. They have a nice API and excellent Python support for it. Should be easy enough for some script kiddie to write.
