    I'm going to ask some really stupid questions.

    Why would anyone want to pull data from Twitter? What data are you pulling when you do?

    I was thinking this myself as being only an occasional Twitter-er... however, I began to think of business applications where Clients / Customers could Tweet their interest in something... say a project they wish to put their name in for consideration. It appears that thru this API one could pull enough relevant information to join with a background app. Sure they could have just text'd or sent an email to the same system. Obviously with Twitter the message should not be sensitive in nature. This may just offer another way (easily I hope) to connect. Interested to hear other people's ideas too.

    I will be playing with this as well - thanks for the summary POST!!!
