When you request a list of a user's friends (ah, others being followed, in the new terminology :-) ), you get back their latest status updates, which is useful for many applications, including the one I am developing.
What my application REALLY needs is the last location update of each of the users that are being followed. I can loop through the followed users list, get their profile, and extract the location, but with even a modest sized list you quickly hit the rate limit. To generalize this, I request that a user's location be returned whenever any other information about that user is included in a returned list. (If the returned information is specific to a single user because the request was for information about that user only, then I guess it would be OK to have to separately request the profile for that user.) Comments are welcome, appreciated, and expected. Thanks in advance, Jim Renkel
