Stream / Watch / Track Tweets - strict - url matching

Post by martin@rootjazz »

you can specify to have / not have your keyword match in the following ways

keyword:
soundcloud

You may want this to match
http://soundcloud.com

If yes, check URL MATCHING, if not uncheck


You may want to match
#soundcloud
@soundcloud
If so, UNCHECK STRICT, if not, CHECK and ONLY soundcloud word is matched

Likewise, you may want to watch for
@rootjazz

and NOT detect
rootjazz
#rootjazz

so check STRICT

If I want to match
soundcloud
Will STRICT ignore #soundcloud and #soundcloud?

Post-edit: probably not, but you can set a (blacklist?) filter that contains both '@soundcloud' and '#soundcloud' (but not 'soundcloud').
2nd post-edit: the "Ignore Words" function is for words in the BIO that should be ignored... At this point I don't know if ignore means 'blacklist' or something else (though this is not essential to my question).

Don't know am confused myself. I think I got it muddled above.

STRICT will ONLY match what was given:

so input: soundcloud
check strict
and #soundcloud @soundcloud are IGNORED

if you want to match them all, UNCHECK Strict,

that makes more sense, but not what I put.... I'll check :)

Ignore means Ignore the tweet if any words are present, so perhaps like your definition of blacklist :)

haha - I got a programmer confused. I feel like I'm winning here! Trump style!! :geek:

Kidding aside...

So the word BIO is wrong and should be replaced with ANYWHERE (BIO/Tweet/...?)

double win for you, you are winning bigly now, so much winning. You confused me again. There is USER FILTER: IGNORE. This will only use BIO.
There is also IGNORE on the stream watch keywords form, that will ignore if ignore word found anywhere

select it, press Del key (or right-click and delete selected; but that option often is broken - a bug report will fix it)

for the "user filter", the item "location" what is the data that is looked at to determine a match? the user Bio? the geo IP location of the tweet? what is the form of the data, just a city or province or country name? And one final question that you will likely ridicule me for: does the keyword in the keyword list(s) [throughout the program actually] need to in fact be ONE word or can it be a 2 or 3 word phrase (IOW have spaces in between the 2 or 3 words) I know that is a very basic KW question sorry....:) I know a hashtag is one word but what if I wanted to use a 2 word phrase like "large women" ...I know, I should know this but I dont (and your examples in the vids were all single word keywords so I cant tell). :D :D :D :D

and I know I said no more but I do have ONE more question - I see how to stream/watch and then perform actions, but the action I want to do is reply with a posted video clip (OR an image) also not just a spintax text comment /w URL....how would I nest a video clip (or image) WITH the spintax text / url reply....? I know how to post a video using the "post youtube videos" tab (or tweet image tab) but now how to embed a video clip as a part of the stream/watch/reply functionality
