I'm doing some graph analysis on Twitter, Digg, Friendfeed, etc. It would be nice if Twitter could include the handle of the user (and possibly the name) when obtaining outbound edges.
I understand this might be a performance issue but I wanted to bring it up regardless. All the other systems I'm testing support this.... Right now I have to do another N HTTP fetches to obtain their metadata.... which I guess is fine but if Twitter could easily include this metadata this might remove some load from your system and make my system faster at the same time.
