I am really looking forward to this too. I have one request, can there be a variable in the URL to specify that we want BOTH the username and the user ID? We need both of these to make sense for our users because we use the ID in our backend, but display the username in the front end. Without b

Hi Bill, I've actually put up a site recently that can do this. The initial goal was to limit to your followers, but it can search any indexed profile as well. It's at http://tweepsearch.com I expect Twitter to come out with a profile search at some point, but until then...I'll keep this around

All Twitter users exist across both domains; the .jp domain just encourages our site to default to a Japanese localization. On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 11:16, Niall Kennedy wrote: > > The User show API does not currently provide the URL of a Twitter > member's profile. I currently construct this li

How about, rather than guessing which thread to link it to, if it is manually sent, create a meta "tag" variable that identifies that an individual has been mentioned in the Tweet. Those that want their Tweets to appear threaded can go to their preferred UI and do so, and those that don't care can
