I don’t know. It’s BEng (hons) so maybe that means something. I could enter in the second year if I have AAB and an A in AS computing and AS maths (???)

@azharc “(including private feeds of people you are following)”

search.twitter.com doesn’t do that. I checked as part of my “thorough analysis”.

1. You already can. [search.twitter.com]

2. You already can, I think ^

3. Umm… not for me.

4. No.

5. Well, if it were to exist, it’s limited by Twitter’s sometimes slowness so I won’t expect much.

6. Definitely

7. Make sure you do something more than search.twitter.com does

1. Yes

2. Absolutely

3. Would have to be a pretty fascinating person.

4. Integration into program is better (btw, I hate CSV). But like Alex said, it’s got to be pretty.

5. I like zippy.

6. Integration. I trust you (said the idiot).

1. Would it be useful to be able to search all of the Tweets that anyone has ever made (including private feeds of people you are following)?

- What’s a Tweet?

2. Would it be useful to be able to search Tweets by date posted?

- Sure, I guess.

3. Would it be useful to be able to download all Tweets of anyone who you can view the feed of?

- Probably.

4. Assuming the answer to 3. is a yes, would you prefer the downloaded file to be one that is easily understandable in a spreadsheet software package, or that can be read by the program that is being made and searched from within that?

- Yes.

5. Would you expect a program such as this to run quickly or would you allow for it to be quite slow (given that the current programs which do similar things can take more than 10 minutes to run)?

- Quite slow would be fine. It’s not like I’d just load it up and sit there watching it do whatever it does.

6. Would a Twitter login that is integrated into the program be better than a browser window opening within the program (which would show the user that the information is (more likely to be) secure?

- Either/or.

7. Any suggestions?

- Grow a beard.

Oops - q6 above should be q7.
6) Login in the program would probably be nicer in terms of user interface.
7) (corollary) Stop being irritating. You haven’t defined explicitly above what this program actually does.

1) Probably. It’s like an mobile phone. Once you get it, you wonder how you lived without it. Sure you’ve got a landline, but you can talk on the go!
2) I would expect to be able to do that from a program like this - it needs something to recommend it over just using your browser.
3) “whose feed”. But yes, I suspect probably.
4) Possibly something in the form of Windows Live Messenger conversation logs, although I must agree with Will - CSV could be useful. Heck, any spreadsheet/table format would be good. CSV allows us(the end-users) to write more programs though…
5) I’m impatient - if it’s much slower than browser-based Twitter, I won’t use it that much. It’ll just clog up my hard-drive. Plus, doesn’t it depend on the internet connection speed?
6) Any chance of something in the style of Facebook’s “wall-to-wall”? So you can see any conversations you may have had via tweets with a particular person…
