I want to use Twitter's Streaming API to collect all of the tweets of users signed onto my website - of course I would have an oauth token and secret for them, but I want to store their tweets as they make them. Is that possible with the Streaming API? If so, can anyone point me to some PHP library that will help me implement such a task? I tried looking in to Phirehose, but I don't understand how to use that library to get the feeds of all the users signed up on my website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Take a look at the 140 Twitter Server.
Adam creates a lot of great helper code around the twitter API, a lot of great articles too.

He there,
I am trying to get a grip on the API of linkedin. What i want to develop is a marketing-dashboard for clients with campagins and there analytics. The documentation on linkedin is not very helpfull (could be me thought). Do i have to be registered as a partner for this? And can anyone help me with some examplefiles or library based on PHP?
Unfortunately the Zoonman tutotial only shows the 'Authorization Code Flow'. For data of campagins and sponsered content on linkedin i need 'Client Credential Flow'. And as i suspected i do need to be partner first to be able to use the LinkedIn Marketing Developer Platform - API.
how can you count the count number of tweets for a specific hashtag on twitter? is there a way to avoid php and creating twitter app on the twitter developer site?
i might want to use go or c++ instead of php.
Thanks,
Geri
In order to count Tweets in real-time, you will need to use the Twitter Streaming APIs, in particular the statuses/filter endpoint. Using the track parameter with the hashtag you are interested in, you will receive matching Tweets in real-time.
In order to get started, you will need to create credentials for your Twitter app on https://apps.twitter.com/, then consume the API from your favorite language. The fastest way is to use an existing library which will handle the authentication and the connection to the Twitter API for you.
If you want to use Go, I definitely recommend twittergo by #kurrik which supports the Streaming APIs. For other languages, you can take a look at this page on Twitter Libraries.
You can also use tweepy a python API to access twitter APIS . But first you should have twitter streaming API access for that you should have an account at apps.twitter.com
You will always need to create an app on the Twitter Developer portal https://apps.twitter.com/ as this is where you get to manage your API OAuth keys. As Romain says, the best option here would be to use the Streaming API.
I am exploring the Twitter streaming API and have gone through various documents and examples, but I don't know where to start.
I could not find a beginners tutorial.
Most of the examples use a username and password - are these the Twitter account username and password?
I appreciate if someone can list down the steps to follow.
I am working in PHP.
Twitter have deprecated API v1.0 which was using only username of any person to get tweets.
So you have to use API v1.1. Please go through following links, you will get much information about creating API.
Simple Tweets
Advance with layout
No. You can not get all tweets. This is called the firehose and costs several million dollars a year. Twitter only sells that to a few partners.
I have get an very good idea of making a social dashbord, like iGoogle/netvibes. But I would like to do it my self.
So my question is, are there a script in php, that are build that I can begin with if not is there possible to use Google Gadget API or any other alike API?
Yes, you can use Google's Gadget API.
Also take a look at this SlideShar Presentation, How to Build Your Own Social Media Dashboard On A Shoestring Budget
Here's an article about building with netvibes, Build A Social Media Network With Netvibes

You can do it using the twitter application on facebook. There is more helpful information here
There are a couple existing ways to do this. As Shadi suggested you can use the official twitter app. or if you would like more control on what is sent to facebook you can use tweelay.net (full disclosure: i am the sole developer of tweelay)
If you wanted to roll your own:
I suggest using the Twitter Streaming API backed up by a standard statuses/home_timeline call from a cron job every minute or so to grab tweets. then with the tweets you can send them to facebook using the Graph API.
There are several existing libraries that can be used to get you started.
