One way you could do this is to call /users/show. If the user exists
their details will be returned, if not, you will get a 404 or 403
error (Suspended users are returned as a 403 error). You can find out
more about /users/show on our developer resources site:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/show
The /users/show request is rate limited so you will want to be careful
about the number of requests you make.
Hope that helps,
Matt
