looks like something a little bit similar to Discuss itslef where we can follow people, but finding comment looks like the service, We feel fine, where it gathers comments with some particular feelings or phrases. The added feature in blacktype makes it a good thing to get adapted too. I agree with the industrial part, than can be a great tool for marketing, better than other stuff we use to find relative comments.

The link I connect to disappears when I return to the Connect page. Is it this way by design? If so why don't you allow us to at least store the URLs in our account ?

Interesting feature. Just trying to figure out what the boundaries are to this option.

Gotcha; that makes a lot of sense!

Thanks for quick reply :)

Hey James,

The since_id refers to the Twitter status id of the latest tweet. So this parameter can be used to returns tweets with ids greater than the given id.

Hi,

Great tool, just working on a python wrapper, wanted to ask how the since_id parameter is parsed. The timestamp in the example on the api page (1300588696) seems to me to resolve to the 20th March 2011::

>>> d = datetime.fromtimestamp(1300588696)
>>> d
datetime.datetime(2011, 3, 20, 2, 38, 16)

Yet some manual testing shows me that 1300588696 does works as a timestamp (I get 88 results for www.yahoo.com). Can you tell me how you generate / parse / compare the timestamp?

Thanks,

James.

backtweets is really great! Thanks very much for this. Do you think about integrating some numbers in your search: "xx different twitter users have linked to this website in the past four weeks" or something like that (like the technorati authority)? Then you would definitely become the new Technorati...

Thanks for your comment. We have a feature called BackType Subscriptions that does what you're looking for, but it will only alert you on comments that were directly in response to the post you're interested in (whereas Connect shows multiple conversations happening on Twitter, Digg, Reddit, other blogs, etc)

Hope this helps:

instead of actively looking up a URL in order to see its conversation, is there any way to get ALERTS when there have been comments on a post? I comment on lots of posts everyday, and I'd like to know when there have been new comments made on those posts, because perhaps those comments are responding to me. how to make this a push feature rather than a pull feature?

See if you can't sell this to Twitter, this really should be integrated under a "mentions" tab that combines Search.twitter.com results for "@username" like RT's, mentions, and now, thanks to you, non-RT-credited backtweets.

1) Ugh -- I typed my comment, then logged in to disqus, and my comment was wiped from the comment field (not so nice)

2) original comment: so, does this mean it'll be possible to have something a bit like the "show friendfeed conversations" plugin for wordpress, only covering more zones of the conversational prism? (I prefer prism to graph in this context, honestly)

Wow! Tremendous twitter tool here!

This is excellent. The next valuable step here is to search for url-shortened links on Facebook, Friendfeed, and other places where people are sharing links.

This is excellent. I'd love it too if somehow I could have all the comments attached to my blog articles appeared with my article on my blog?
