Ask HN: Hitting a wall with Twitter

Naive/obvious questions:

Have you

a) done everything listed at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/streams/site#App... ?

b) considered getting on a plane to SF, spending a few weeks there, and network like hell, in an attempt to meet face-to-face with someone at Twitter? You said you're desperate, so all options are on the table, though I suspect I'll get shot down for suggesting this.

a) yes, everything b) this is on my list of 'if all else fails' but as you know, networking is a bit like dating. it's a whole lot easier if you're not desperate ;)

You should absolutely be on a plane to SF. As you said yourself, this is your shot. Don't blow it by sitting at home wishing people would fly out to meet you.

100% agree. Fly to SF, knock down every door, connect with every twitter employee possible on Linkedin, and find out who you need to talk to.
