This has the potential to be a huge PR win for JetBlue. Here's hoping you get through to them, and that they are happy to go along with it.

I would imagine that these results are considerably skewed to favor bit.ly, seeing as there are just a sheer larger amount of bit.ly links floating around.

Allow me to reiterate: I am completely cognizant of the way all Twitter clients work. All I'm saying is, if everyone backs off just a little from hitting the API then it's better for everyone, and doing what Dave is doing, he can afford to back off without losing functionality.

I'm sorry, but this post is pathetic.

Not only did you not show the fully optimized iPhone-only search page (http://tr.im/oicR), you failed to even think for a moment about why the results page is *not* "optimized":

How can you intelligently compress the information, mainly the charts, without it becoming incomprehensible?

The WordPress.com app can be used with any WordPress.org blog, so long as that blog is running WP 2.7 or higher.

I use it exclusively with WP.org blogs.
