OptionDescription
Rate LimitTwitter only allows clients like Twitter Reader to make a limited number of calls for new data in a given hour to protect against querying for Tweets too frequently and to control abuse. If the rate limit reaches zero (0) no new tweets will be retrieved.
 
To avoid exceeding Twitter’s limits, remove any unnecessary TweetOut topics in Flow. See Twitter Topic Control module for details.
TopicsYou can review all of the Twitter topics configured via Flow, and review whether or not they are currently enabled.
New TweetsReview the number of new Tweets added on the last data retrieval.
Countdown For Next Read

By default, Twitter Reader attempts to retrieve data every two (2) minutes.

 The countdown frequency can be adjusted via File > Preferences; however, the minimum value must be one (1) minute or more.

Read NowTrigger an immediate data retrieval by clicking Read Now to bypass the countdown clock.
File > Preferences 

The Twitter Reader utility must be configured to connect to your database. Connection and user authentication values would have been correctly configured by your system administrator initially during installation. Use caution when modifying these values.   


From this dialog you also:

  • Test your connection to your database by clicking Test Connection. This can be a handy troubleshooting step.
  • Control whether Tweets returned include hypertext links or not using the Remove Links From Tweets option.
  • Set the Read Tweets Ever value, in seconds. You will not be able to set this value lower than 60 seconds.
Help > Open Today’s LogTwitter Reader generates a log file of its activities while it’s running.
You can review this log file. Using the date and time, you can confirm that Twitter Reader is connecting and returning Tweets successfully.
