I was thinking something similar but I think it would probably have to work something like:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline_number.format and a since_id parameter (this would give you the number of messages since message with that id) <number_of_statuses>#</number_of_statuses> Or for direct messages: http://twitter.com/direct_message_number.format + since_id <number_of_direct-messages>#</number_of_direct-messages> etc... These would be useful for letting a user know how many unread messages they have, or for an app just starting up to get an idea of how much data they'll need to download & have aprox. enough info to create a progress bar.
