Right now we are using the method: http://twitter.com/friends/ids.json
to get a user's friends, but it doesn't have the friend's screen_name, which is obviously how users identify their friends. So what we are currently having to do, is store the id's in our database then loop through and use the method: http://twitter.com/users/show/<id>.json to figure out the screen_name associated to the id, and store that in our system as well. This is a failed system because users can change their screen names and it burns through API requests to fast. API DEV TEAM: anyway you guys can add screen_name in the response for the method http://twitter.com/friends/ids.json? That would solve this issue. If I'm missing something obvious, or if anyone has a better approach please reply. Thanks!
