As a side note, one of the requirements is in the feature list for TweepSearch(.com).
As an example, you can currently see all of the "social media" people that follow me and my follow-back status at: http://tweepsearch.com/search/dacort?query="social media" I'm planning on adding an authentication option so it will be relative to whomever is logged in. I've considered adding some other features, but yes the spam vs. valid use issue keeps getting in the way. While I certainly don't want to promote illicit and abusive use of Twitter, there are some valid use cases. I guess a good compromise is simply putting usage limits in place similar to Twitter, but that depends on your definition of spam. Take the Tweetie developer, for example. He has been very rigid on _not_ implementing a retweet feature in his app because he doesn't believe Twitter should be used that way and that RT's are spammy. Fair enough, but a large majority of the population feels that they're useful. Not sure why I went on that small rant...time for some piroshki. dpc On Feb 5, 2:12 pm, Chad Etzel <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't have time right now to do this, so I thought I'd pass it on > and see if anyone else is interested.
