Hey there,

How much URL resolving do you guys do? For instance, this profile:
http://twitter.com/fritzonion has a link to
http://www.pluralsight.com/fritz which actually redirects to
http://www.pluralsight.com/community/blogs/fritz/default.aspx.

However, you have to know the redirecting URL to get any results from
the social graph api (ie the http://www.pluralsight.com/fritz url)
which makes it nigh on impossible to do a reverse-lookup on a URL? Is
there any way round this?

Many thanks!

James

What ideally should happen here (and does in some cases) is there should be a "me" link from /fritz to /community/blogs/fritz/, so there's a me path from the twitter account all the way to the other URL with XFN.

I'll look into it.
