Should we rename this module? Twitter-lite is hard to search for

[peterpme]

Do we still want twitter-node?

Agreed, I landed on this lib because it was the only one I could find that was being maintained, had almost no issues, and the code was clean/current. I think a lot of other people will find that appealing too. So thanks for your hard work.

We could call it twitter-node that would definitely cause a little confusion with the other library but it would be great for SEO. Also you could through in the org to make it more clear: @Preposterous/twitter-node

@tylerbuchea: which repo might that be? Can't see a PR for this at https://github.com/technoweenie/twitter-node/pulls

[tylerbuchea]

Spit balling:

• twitter-api
• twitter-interface
• twitter-fetch
• awesome-twitter
• easy-twitter
• twitter-thin
• twitter-me
• @presposterous/twitter

Awesome ideas, thanks!!

I tried googling "node twitter" and we def don't show up on the list. I know its going to take some time but with these new API changes I imagine we'll be able to grow our userbase!

[peterpme]

I've reached out to the owner of twitter-node and hopefully he'll be open to the idea of donating the name! If not let's go with one of the ones you came up with cause they're awesome 😄

[tylerbuchea]

Sounds good, I opened a PR on his repo to deprecate his library in favor of this one. So hopefully one of our requests go through.

[peterpme]

Sorry I've been moving back from the west coast to the midwest the last couple of days! I can move everything over to the new name some time today :)

[tylerbuchea]

No rush, that is a big move! Hope it's going well.

It's on this one desmondmorris/node-twitter#284

node-twitter not twitter-node apologies if I confused the two.

Looks like the technoweenie one you link to is already deprecated in favor of https://github.com/AvianFlu/ntwitter which in turn is also deprecated.

The poor Node community this is a confusing mess.

Hopefully either @technoweenie/twitter-node or @desmondmorris/node-twitter are willing to give up their names.

twi-lite

But still, @desmondmorris, are you still around? Since you're no longer maintaining node-twitter, may we use the name?

[peterpme]

We have the npm package? It's the reverse of node-twitter

[dylanirlbeck]

@peterpme Should we still change this to twitter-node?
