I suspect this would be an unspeakably bad idea when spammers find out what it is. > % Twitter pushes DMs to my email address, which is cool, especially > since I can pipe the email to whatever I want.

If you are referring to the notification and friendship methods, respectively, you can confidently assume that when you cease to follow a user, you will no longer get their notifications. > % Can the API tell me *when* I started following someone or vica versa? No. > % DMs have their own numbering scheme different from regular > tweets. Why? More importantly, how can I attach a unique integer to > each tweet, regardless of whether its a DM or not? Because internally they are not tweets. As for you, you can certainly come up with your own internal keys, sure. > % What API call gives me the current twitter time?

I can't speak for Twitter's ops staff, but I'm confident you can assume they are using a standardized time base. > % What other micro-blogging services have a SOAP/REST interface?
