Awesome. I still do downloads of follower lists because it is an easier way to get a batch of information from the profile data than requesting every single one, but this already is a huge advancement.
Small suggestion: Add a last changed info to it for social graph change or a number? Like if I have in my db that user X has 200 follower and 200 following, and the new number is 300 and 210 I might say 'woops, need to check follower but not the following'? Speaking of dates: Is there any way the new api does not require the funny dates or is there a method I overlooked not to need to use sth like this: Tue%2C+27+Mar+2007+22%3A55%3A48+GMT 0703272255 i can easily build as year month day etc, but the additional name of the month and day complicates things unecessarily. thanks Nicole
