Why let twitter f* with your ui? The reason in this case is that my couchdb code *never sees your twitter credentials*. It just piggybacks on the session you set up either through basic auth or b/c you are already logged in. Maybe its not the best reason, but for now it makes for a good hack. I agree about federation. Other sources that offer twitter-like apis ought to be able to feed into this couch app eventually, and with views you can just wrap them all together easily. -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
