If memory serves, Twitter is still returning suspended accounts in the followers API calls. I try to identify and mark these users in my own database so I don't display them to my end user, however this is a difficult and resource intensive task. One in which I have to worry about false positives.
Does anyone know of a service that is simply a reliable ever updating giant list of suspended accounts that I can rub against my database to clean it? Alternatively, if the API would stop returning suspended accounts in the follow data, I could skip this data cleanup step. ;) This has been an issue for at least a year and a half now. http://bit.ly/agSBZ7 -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
