In terms of this change, you need to separate Twitter Search from the
Twitter Search API in your minds.
Do with Twitter Search (the web interface) what you like. Make popular
the default if you want.
But, don't decide on behalf of the developers (the consumers of the

Can you post the exact URL you're using? The one posted fails because the

This may be due to the fact that your ID is older than two weeks, and is
therefore unknown to search. You could try using since= instead and

The bit.ly expander does a fine job on Twitter profiles - place the

By default the user_timeline only returns 20 statuses at a time. If you
