If you try to pull a protected users' timeline w/o authentication then
it will throw a 401.
You can confirm whether a user id is valid by trying to call:
http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?id={insert_id_here}
users/show will throw a 404 on a non existent user.

I resorted to using just Leser (=Reading) plus the web site's domain
and the bit.ly URL. No unsafe characters there, so no problem. But
this clearly should be reported to Twitter as a bug.

Please try one of the existing Perl-based Twitter API libraries:

Same scenario, same issues... bulk status request is the right
solution, also for users you get from the Search API...

There is no reason for you to get rid of it.
You should store it with a relation to the username. The user should
not be forced to re-allow every session.

From my testing, SOME api calls go through just fine (e.g., grabbing
DMs). OTHERS are particularly slow (e.g., create friend).
From the rumours I have heard, Twitter is delegating performance to
more benign calls, and degrading performance for other calls more
closely associated with spam
I should add that that rumour is probably pure speculation. But it
does strike me as odd that some calls work perfectly fine, while
others are significantly delayed.
Possibly the degradation is due to the deals Twitter struck today with
Google and Microsoft's Bing? Presumably these behemoths
