tokens. I verified this assumption is correct. This provides weight to
presumption of internal update rate limiting.

user's last status. While I

When using the twitter section, append the URL after the user has
entered his/her status. This way you won't need Edit your status but

Ah,
Definitely happy to make it more clear which methods require
authentication and which do not. However, to get the effect that's
most intuitive from calling the API methods, calling them as the user
whose data you're interested in is the most straightforward approach.
Which is what brought us
Is there any way to search for in_reply_to_status_id on
search.twitter.com? Alternatively, is it possible to get the
in_reply_to_status_id in the json output? There's a lot of emphasis on
threading recently, and adding these abilities if they don't exist
would certainly be useful.

Well, yes, but then it is a trivial step to get which user.
My question, though, is whether or not this sort of behavior is
intentional, for 3rd party sites to be able to discover the identity
of twitter users on their sites? Personally, I find this to be more
