I can't think of a worse architecture for what is essentially a messaging platform. Maybe in Twitter 2.0 they can replace it with cans and strings.

It would help my app make fewer requests if I could get more than 100 records in result sets. As it is, to get all followers or following I have to sit in a loop hitting the API time after time to get a complete result. Not sure if this would help overall cycles needed, but it would certainly help web hits. Just a question/suggestion.

Last year, Twitter was relatively obscure until Leo Laporte and Robert Scoble promoted like crazy at SXSW. I still don't quite understand Twitter but that's ok. I'm still curious about whether or not young people who grew up with IM, MySpace, Twitter actually use it (I'm a college student and I see absolutely no use for it).
