Not what I was suggesting. Only pointing to Facebook's proposed directory of "trusted applications". The idea being that there would be SOME editorial involvement from Twitter or trusted community members to review apps and determine that they're on the whole seemingly trustworthy. It'd be a rat's nest, for sure, but something that might be worthwhile in lieu of actually trying to trust users. Chris
