Hi John, et al.

I have been playing with the /follow streams and noticed that some
users' updates don't appear at all.  This was really confounding for
quite a while.  Then I noticed that using the search API to search for
"from:user" returned no recent results.

An example is @KimSherrell.  I have been trying to get her updates in
the /follow stream (she posts *a lot*) as a way to verify that it is
working.  Lo and behold her most recent entry in the Search API is
from 5 days ago:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from:kimsherrell

I know there is some administrative bit on the accounts that
determines whether a user will be indexed by Search; is this same bit
used to determine whether their updates will go out on the Hosebird
streams?  If so, may I ask why?

Thanks!
-Chad
