In the past several days, web2express digest site did not receive data from twitter api. This was because twitter was still trying to fix the problem with its timeline feed for data mining. Earlier today, twitter api team announced the retirement of the data mining timeline feed. But, good news is that twiiter has something better for developers: the streaming api.
I implemented streaming api for web2express digest web site yesterday. It has been running smoothly. The latest version of Twitter4j library released a couple of days supports streaming api. I just plug it in and it works beautifully.
New feature: a new feature is also added to allow visitors to add twitter user as friend while browsing the hot topics on the digest web site. I think this feature will make the free web site more useful to twitter users.
