I am the author and I am not happy that the info was posted. I posted earlier asking that this thread be deleted, but apparently some people don't respect my wishes and even go so far as to assume that all I care about is money.
The information on the program was not publicly available and was...
Honestly fam, the program took up way more of my time then I thought it would. PMs and emails were blowin up at all times, day and night. I took the time to respond to everyone who needed help because I want NT people to be able to cop the shoes they want. The only way it made sense for me to...
Because it's not enabled by default. Please read the configuration file.
To test your configuration, you should understand that the program will only check the text of the tweet, not the text of the link.
For those of you using the program for the release tomorrow, be sure to use the look_for feature in the configuration file. Nike will tweet a bunch of links at the same time tomorrow and you probably only want it to open the link for one of the pairs.
Good luck.
For all those concerned about the program getting into the hands of too many people, notice the "checking for developer authorization" line at startup.
Basically, the program checks a secret twitter account at startup to see if it should continue running. I can disable the current releases at...
The purpose of this program is to open links posted by selected accounts instantly after they are posted on Twitter. This is ahead of text message notifications, Twitter web client updates, etc. This will not help with RSVP releases, only NDC releases.

Should have a Windows version out by tomorrow night if all goes well. There's a chance it could be delayed until next week though.
Going to fix the follow list case-sensitive bug and add some better error messages also. Unfortunately I won't have an updated Mac version out for at least another...
I for one had an account before the yuku switchover even though I never posted. When they switched I had to create a new one.
A couple of people have been PMing me about a 401 error. That means you username and/or password are incorrect. Check it in the config file. I still encourage you to...
Did it surround it with **** and say opening link?
Someone found a bug where the name in the config file is case sensitive. So if the name in the follow list doesn't match the case of the username tweeting the link, it won't open (e.g. nikeTwitterTestAccount vs niketwittertestaccount). You can...
So how about I charge money for it, would people trust me then?
The truth is I do have stuff that would be worth paying for, but I thought I would give people a nice freebie to let them know they can trust me and that my stuff works. **** it. Enjoy getting beat by all the computers.
Alright, I finished compiling the first version of the program tonight for Mac OSX. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get it to my testers, but you guys should get it tonight or tomorrow.
Unfortunately it's going to be another week or so before I have access to a Windows target I can use...
I wrote a similar program. The advantage is not as great as he is saying. It's more like 3-5 seconds ahead of the Twitter web client, 8-10 seconds ahead of SMS alerts. The program does intercept tweets the second they are sent though.
