I did this:

curl -u kellyterryjones:xxxxxx http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml -d 'statu\
s=D+canageek+Ignore+this+test+golf'

w/ my real password. It DM'd my friend (follower) canageek, but it returned my
last public tweet, not "Ignore this test golf".

I then replaced canageek w/ britneyspears and got the same result,
instead of an error saying britneyspears isn't following me.

Even worse, when I do:

curl -u kellyterryjones:xxxxxx http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml -d 'statu\
s=STATS'

I don't get any STATS on myself.

In fact, all of the shortcuts at the bottom of:
http://help.twitter.com/portal seem to return my last public tweet.

Am I doing this wrong?

I realize things like "FOLLOW foo" actually do follow foo, but
shouldn't it return something more useful than my last public tweet?
