1) http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-users%C2%A0show suggests that you can use any of: xml json rss atom but rss and atom are not working at all:
Try this on the commandline: for EXT in xml json rss atom do; echo " $EXT:" curl "http://twitter.com/users/show.$EXT?screen_name=moltz" done and you'll see that RSS and ATOM return nothing at all. 2) If I go to http://twitter.com/moltz I see that notifications are ON, but if I check via commandline it says: $ curl --netrc "http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=moltz" returns <notifications>0</notifications> and $ curl --netrc "http://twitter.com/users/show.json?screen_name=moltz" returns "notifications":0 if I turn OFF notifications, XML returns <notifications>false</notifications> and json returns "notifications":false soooooo.... does "notifications" = "0" mean "you have notifications turned on" and "notifications" = "false" means you do not? Sounds like a job for either "0 and 1" or "true and false". Am I missing something? TjL
