Twitter Developers Meet Up in Tokyo

I went "Twitter Developers Meet Up in Tokyo" handled by Japanese Twitter operating company Digital Garage.
Matt Sanford (@mzsanford ) and Yukari Matsuzawa ( @ yukarim ) came from Twitter.

Matt showed OAuth, ReTweet and location API abstract to Japanese twitter developers in his short presentation with focusing on expanding to develop with using these APIs.
New topic for me was which translating twitter API documents onto several languages comes in this year. Japanese Translated Twitter and OAuth API document will help us.

Q&A section was filled with request for twitter. ReTweeting with comment, Search API's problem and so. My request for twitter was to make developer to test new interface. One funny spec was requested by mobile phone developer. His request was that OAuth allows to authenticate without cookie. Many Japanese mobile phone handset's web browser and Flash player authenticate with terminal unique IDs but without cookie. Matt said that he understood this "Crazy" request is necessary for Japanese mobile phones.

Anyway, I've enjoyed with meeting many person develop twitter client application. I'm not alone for developing with twitter.
