Deleted tweets don't necessarily mean a bad thing btw... Especially with no edit function on Twitter. And I deleted tweets from my personal account all the time (and from @ProductHunt sometimes if I don't like how something was worded, etc...) Will have to try deleting something from @ProductHunt to see if it shows up on PostGhost 😁

@nivo0o0 In that case, PostGhost could show/diff the next few tweets done by the account, to see if that person corrected a typo or otherwise just tweaked a recent tweet.

Neat idea, could see the media loving this particularly for politicians or celebrities! How long will it take before Twitter shuts this down? Bets anyone? 🙉

Does this catch everything? I heard about a deleted tweet from Jill Stein, I've seen screenshots but it's not appearing on this.

This will likely get shut down by Twitter soon... but for now, PostGhost lives on 🐥👻

@nivo0o0 I came here exactly to say that. As this goes against the usage of their API which clearly states that when a Tweet is deleted, the consumer should also delete it -> something like that.

@paulmwatson @nivo0o0: I could not find the reference for what I said earlier. I searched on: https://dev.twitter.com/streamin... but I clearly remember reading that one should the best one could to not show deleted tweets.. maybe they changed that.. maybe they just didn't noticed that and this app just passed through the cracks

How does it know if a tweet was edited or deleted?

Report

@isaiahjturner probably by keeping record and checking if the link is still valid.

The question is, how does it decide who to follow? Even with its criteria of verified accounts of more than 10,000 followers (0.05% of users), there has to be some manual curation of those accounts.

@joostschuur https://twitter.com/verified you're welcome! (I actually was puzzled by your question, so I tried doing a https://dev.twitter.com/rest/ref... with q=verified and I got to this account)
