.... I have installed Tattler and it works - but the lack -if not absence- of documentation is a real let-down. Maybe I didn't find yet.

To the point - if you enter a topic the notes are not clear to the new user of what is what and what it will do -I guess one will learn by doing and searching:
Topic:* - is the name of what you want to be monitored for "mentions" - okay no problem
Tattler Topic Keywords: - is the comma separated list of what you want to monitor
Tattler User Tags: - is what exactly? - Is it the list you want to use to refine the search of the collected & listed items later? For this there should be more explanation of how you arrive at such a list. Why would this be different form the previous list?
--------------------
And how can you edit a topic later? - Why:

  • You might have a typo error - for ex. meterology should be meteorology
  • You might find the word you used is misleading - for ex. lidar can mean something very technical or be a word with a sense in Spanish. You might only want one or the other - now you need to change the list in the topic. - How to edit and how to improve the syntac for the search?
  • You might want to refine your topic as you realise you should add more or different keywords.

--------------------
And:

  • How does one delete all the topics that are wrong because of a typo error or word mix-up?
  • And/or how does one delete just those items generated by the typo or word mix-up?
  • How does one specifiy / limit searches by language? For ex. I want to know all about "Computers" but just in English - not in other languages where the word "computer" may be used.

-------------------
Sure there are more questions - but one has to start somewhere.

Why does this potentially fantastic project seem so dead? Is it a dead project? If not, can someone answer the questions above?

.... it seems Tattler is not being active or actively developed.
There is a mention of something coming soon here on Drupal under the Tattler project - but if there is not even a reply to this conversation from the Tattler team - then it seems rather dead.

Just a couple of answers to my questions:
And how can you edit a topic later?
No, it seems you can't. I deleted all and started fresh without the typos.

How does one delete all the topics that are wrong because of a typo error or word mix-up?
I am using VBO now with Views and use various exposed search options for Content Type, Title, etc. then delete or blacklist them.
And/or how does one delete just those items generated by the typo or word mix-up?
As above.
How to eliminate twitter completley
I would like to blacklist Twitter completly and then add tweats if they are relevant - because most is just crap. Just shows you what is wrong with the internet to value Twitter at 3.7 billion plus US$ - it's all about (big) numbers and noise - not about quality.
Let's stick with Drupal and let's hope the Tattlers are waking up - great idea and I do get useful stuff from it - but i am spending too much time trying to work my way through too much noise without some proper instructions.

Here is what you do:

1. List all content by going to Content->Edit->List
2. Filter content by selecting Type -> topic
3. Edit your topic, or delete it.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, but not really.

Your advice is right - but that are not the real issues. All that is easy and clear.

How would one block all those twitter feeds for example?

Tattler must be dead. No authoritative reply from the team working on the module to this thread must mean it's dead.
My Tattler installation now throws up funny error messages no one else has reported - so another sign that hardly anyone is using Tattler.
Let's try a posting under Tattler - and then we might know whether or note to write the obituary.

I ran into the same problems (editing topics and drupal errors) which is how I ended up here.

I also noted that the Technorati API doesn't exist

and the core and contrib modules are out of date.

A shame cause it's a sweet tool.

I'm a rookie too but wonder if the same thing can be achieved (without too much difficulty/or the tattler extras) by setting up opencais on a normal (up-to-date) drupal install.

This explains open calais nicely.
