Twitter is just one of the web 2.0 sites that have restful API.
Others, include google services, flickr, youtube and many many others.
Maybe framework like ecf could provide a more generalized API for such
services then binding up to specific one.

Yes, I think ECF can/does provide more generalized APIs...that support
restful transports as well as others. For server-to-server
communication (i.e. runtime project), this can be/will be particularly
valuable, I believe.
FWIW, it was/is extremely easy to create an ECF provider (in this case
for the presence/im APIs) using the twitter aps. For convenience/speed
of implementing the json serialization I used the 'twitter4j' API.
Given this, it only took about 6 hours to implement the provider.
IMHO there are some limitations to the polling that is done in twitter's
API (WRT server scaling), but that's their (twitter's) problem rather
than ours.
