Doug,
We were thinking of using it to locate a friend to build a tweet
dynamically from our web client.
eg, to call out Doug Williams, we could allow the user to search and
find he is dougw on twitter and build a tweet calling out @dougw
directly from our tweet box.
Guess it has to wait for now.
Thanks,
Sudha
