I believe you can also use the HTTP response stats code to tell if the
user's DM is successful or not. If the status code is 403 (Forbidden),
then in the context of DM, I believe it means the receiver is not

beforehand (like

I'm testing oAuth with IE7. The authorization page is displaying a

Url =

JS Line = if(window.top === window.self)

stick and attempting to repeat the editing process seems to exacerbate
the problem. At any given moment my application shows one of five

I'm sort of confused with this API. On twitter.com, my understanding is a

does this mean? A friend you don't follow is what?

Why not categorize them in three roles?I would rather consider a friend is
