Raphael Stolt’s Blog: Utilizing Twitter lists with Zend_Service_Twitter

If your framework lacks some features, simply add it. This is exactly what Raphael Stolt did to add list feature support to Zend_Service_Twitter service.

Several months ago Twitter added the list feature to it’s public API. While debating some use cases for an event registration application I stumbled upon an interesting feature, which adds participants automatically to a Twitter list upon registration. This way registered and interested users can discover like-minded individuals and get in touch prior to any pre-social event activities. This post will show how this feature can be implemented by utilizing the Zend_Service_Twitter component, and how it then can be used in a Zend Framework based application.

In his post Raphael publishes his class extending Zend_Service_Twitter and adding missing functionality. He also shows how one can use it in controller to add users to Twitter’s list during registration.
