I am also looking to build an application that interfaces directly with twitter.com. This application will send post to twitter in care of the user. It will include: sms posting/receiving. No picture handling, strictly text based. The most will be done from a mobile phone
This will require:
- knowledge of twitter api/lingo
a) finding followers by user
b) then by date range
c) etc...
- membership database
a) email address as username
b) password
c) twitter username
d) twitter password
e) device (mobile phone, etc..)
f) track post history
- mobile website design and development
a) home page (with login fields)
b) account page
c) post page
d) administration page (no visible on front end)
e) ad space placement
f) clean web and simple 2.0 look
g) CSS
i) sms gateway integration
- sms
a) all devices will require authorization via email notification
b) sms post will use the message of course
- schedule override
a) UI "Post Now button"
b) sms keyword: "now"
- end result twitter post
a)
"message will be displayed on twitter"
