The user endpoint is very similar to the filter endpoint. We're tuning the parameters, but, yes, you can track and loc, just as on filter, but you can't follow.
Duplicated JSON isn't really a big concern, but I'll look into what we can trim. The markup is rendered once for all receivers. If the rules fire, you get the same event as everyone else who is party to the event. There are also use cases beyond user streams that require completeness. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc. On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 8:18 PM, M.
