If you don't know, I'm not telling.
Finding Individual Twitter Posts
Accessing an individual status update on twitter used to drive me BONKERS! I could never remember what I needed to place in the URL to pull up one specific posts. I could easily access the post ID with FireBug, but I got stuck after that. Do I need to pass in “post” after a username or was something more generic like “id”? I’ve Googled for a solution countless times only to come up with pages of useless information.
Quite by accident, I found the solution.
Click the @$#% time stamp.
Yes, I completely realize how simple that is – and at the same time, as a user, I feel incredibly frustrated that something so simple is so invisible. The time stamp is part of a short string of meta data that I thought was completely ancillary to the functionality of the site.
I’m not going to reword what Mr. Johansson recently published – so if you missed it, click below.
