That's actually longstanding API request: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1078&#38;sort=-stars&#38;colspec=ID%20Stars%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Owner%20Summary%20Opened%20Modified%20Component" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1078&#...</a> It's one I would benefit from for my app as well.<p>One thing to do is to cache the user information locally so that when they're requested again, you don't have to make an API call. For your app, I would think spammy users wouldn't change profile details all that often.
