Application: Twitter

Welcome to the DeepaMehta Twitter Topic page. It seems that you want to tweet out of your DeepaMehta topic maps and want to be an "Early Adaptor", so this is your page! With installing it you are already a tester, when reporting bugs you are already a contributor and if you verbalize wishes you help us to understand the semantic of twitter.

The Twitter client is designed to run on your desktop and within a distributed system in your internal or external network. Like DeepaMehta it's either used as a multi-user application in your network or simply on your desktop.

Now, you can get your hands on with downloading the Twitter Topic 1.0

This application makes use of the following DeepaMehta items

1) It uses generic Topics as status updates

2) It uses Twitter Topics as user channels

3) Associations of type Composition are used between status updates with Twitter Topics.

4) Association of type Recipientsare used between status updates and the @user mentioned

Notes:

  • While receiving updates from twitter.com, this topic identifies stauts updates(topics) on a name basis which should be sufficient for now, since the name should never be the same.
  • If you don't know when your 140 characters limit is reached, grab another topic which comes close to the limit and compare the length of both names visually ;)
