That would definitely require us to weigh our current knowledge of
Thrift vs Protocol Buffers. I'll think about it.
Alternatively, returning responses from Twitter's API encoded with
Thrift would be great, too. Publish the structure definition files and
add support for .thrift on URLs
Where can I find an opne sources that only picks up Twitter users pictures
linked to their profiles? Thanks.
Protocol Buffers is yet another RPC scheme that requires compilation of the
data types. If on the other hand you define simple data types this can be
much simpler and finessed, and including dealing with such RPC issues as
endian-ness. wondering if is there any sort of compression of XML
True JSON is probably more compact. But NO to Google's Protocol
Buffers - it's yet another RPC interface requiring compilation.
But really I want to focus on the 502 errors!
Jeffrey,
Do you think a paging interface for the social graph methods would quickly
solve this problem? In that way, you could limit the number of users
returned with each call (thus limiting the number of bytes returned per
call).

We're fully aware of what Protocol Buffers are their intended use. We
use Thrift, Facebook's clone of Protocol Buffers. You might note the
use of the world internal in the material you quoted.

There is always json.
Perhaps Twitter will consider implementing Protocol Buffers.
Google uses this lightweight protocol internally:
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
I don't know how it compares to json performance wise though.
