Hi Doug,
I had a look at the SEARCH section of the documentation (not the
trends) since the application I am developing primarily uses the
search API.
First I do like the extra use of examples and I think this will help
the new developers out.
I have a few observations.

That sounds very spamish although there are certainly some use cases where
it is acceptable. Proceed with caution when sending mass DMs. Ensure the
messages you are sending are relevant and of value to your followers.
