Alex, Thank you for the quick reply ... and I agree ... it seems that returning the list of followers or friends as an array of IDs would be most effective. This is somewhat how Facebook does it with their API. That would allow us to gain access to the information in a much more compact way.

The only reply I can think of for this is HOT! I just spent the past couple weeks building a service to search ones followers (http://tweepsearch.com) and I still feel bad about pounding the API. This will make it _much_ easier. Thanks for making this change! dpc On Jan 22, 2:46 pm, Alex

Alex, Look forward to working with you on this. As you know PeopleBrowsr passes all requests via a cache to minimise API requests on Twitter. Our requests which are coming from many clients will appear as coming from one IP address. Clients like Tweetdeck that dont cache, will make many more API

In light of this, do we get a rate_limit_status type feed for a given IP, or do we keep an internal track of our calls (which could be inaccurate)? On Jan 21, 4:48 am, Alex Payne a...@twitter.com wrote: Up until now we've allowed users and IPs on our whitelist an unlimited number of requests

Alex, you and I have discussed this, but I still think this is a bad decision until some sort of better method is placed around getting the list of followers of a user. This basically limits how big any application on your platform can get. Right now it takes 400 requests alone to get Robert
