NY Times on TwitterFriday, March 16, 2007 by Dave Winer. Okay, I got the bugs worked out, and it seems to work, fingers crossed, praise Murhpy, I am not a lawyer and I don't work for the NY Times. It's set to post one new story per minute, as long as they are available. I may decrease that to once every three minutes or every five minutes. I'm interested in what people think. "All the news that's fit to twit." How important it is for publications and publishing platforms to be open. Because Twitter has a public API that allows anyone to add a feature, and because the NY Times offers its content as a set of feeds, I was able to whip up a connection between the two in a few hours. That's the power of open APIs. Rex Hammock: "Hey, Twitter is a newsreader." Don Park: "There he goes again." |
