Thanks for all the questions and feedback everyone. Hopefully my comments below will answer your questions.
Robert/Tom: The API limit for #newtwitter applies the same as other applications so the requests are deducted from the authenticated users rate limit. Ed: There are plans to allow more customisation than currently exists on twitter.com. With the new design many users may want to update their images to work with the new padding and width though. The space in the lower right is empty at the moment, but like twitter before, new features/enhancements may occupy or use it. Analytics wise there are no plans to do something like this - if it was a project what kind of things would you find useful? Dewald: The default format of http://twitter.com/themattharris is not being phased out. We just wanted to let you know the new format (with /#!) is expected, and is something apps may find users giving them. You don't need to update the links in your application unless you wish to. Brian: We intend to have entities support in results from the Search API. At the moment they are not yet supported there. Damon: the retweet and retweet_count fields are currently disabled. Some issues were identified soon after they were released which we are working through.
