We also have a sizable cache of this data (around 4 million users) that we are already using in an API format internally at Twitturly. If Twitter approves it, we can add it to our publicly available API. Currently it allows conversion from both ID to username and username to ID one at a time, and

Hi Chad, We too have noticed the same behavior in PHP. Initially I wrote something very similar to your example, and noticed that I'd get a random time's worth of data before it disconnected. Then I rewrote it, which you can see at the below URL (modified to remove irrelevant code to this discu

This would be VERY useful to us. Although for our needs, a stream might be overkill. But if each request for the social graph data can come with a request ID, or even an exact time stamp, which we could provide on the next request and get a diff between the two calls, it would help a lot. If eit

I don't think they should do anything, but ask you guys to cache the profile pictures yourself. By linking directly to the file, you are increasing their Amazon costs. It doesn't take much to cache it yourself, and then every time someone does an update, you just check to see if the old URL that

Is there any way to get a list of a given users followers? From what I can see, there isn't. I want to get something similar to http://twitter.com/statuses/followers.xml, but without the persons latest tweet. I could make that page work, but it only works for that specific user. You can't prov

To me, this sounds like MLM, based off of twitter, just slightly modified. If you want to go this route, why not just say, "if you follow me, I'll follow you and we'll both get higher numbers. Maybe you'll like what I have to say too." Honestly though, this completely misses the whole point of T

Just do the following: go to your start menu, then click on run, then type, "cmd" (without the quotes). Then type "ping domainname.com", replacing domainname.com with the actual domain name that you want to check. You'll see a line like this: Pinging twitturly.com [67.88.244.11] with 32 bytes o

I was just thinking this, and then I read your post. It would be good to see a "trusted apps" section somewhere on your site, and those application could use Basic Auth. If they don't want to go through the process of being a trusted app, then they can use OAuth. Just something to think about.

I second this, it would be useful. Although, if you are requesting info for that user, Twitter should be returning that the user no longer exists, and your app should remove them. Your solution would be good for bulk cleans, but incremental would probably be more efficient. So while it would be
