I learned that if you want something doing right, you need to do it yourself - and even then its not fxxxxng right.

... and I also learned that, when your head Elf discovers this, and points it out to you, it is REALLY annoying.

annoyingly, if you do some heavy research on Twitter to identify accounts starting with one and 'spidering' your way through (but manual) you get a little message saying you have exceeded your quota for this hour and saying try later. And then everything starts saying the page doesn't exist.

Clearly I must work slower :(

I'm actually getting pretty fed up of things like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, foursquare etc. inviting you to link up with your friends, then when you do it they hit you with those "limits".

Grrrrr.

Caught my eye Joe. Do you manipulate those or just slap them up? Sounds interesting :)
