Learning JS and HOLIDAYS

Hey everybody (is there anyone reading this?)

There was no work on msghub for quite a long time. Well, I first had to learn some basic JavaScript (also because we'll have a test on school in about 3 weeks).
Pundidas is currently on holidays and I also took a few days off.

But I'm happy to tell you that I will go on with the development this weekend.
I will work on the view for 'sent messages' and on the Twitter-stuff. All messages will always be sent with our own addresses (as that is more secure for the user and easier for us). And so we will use our own Twitter-Account for sending your tweets (this might change in later versions, if there will ever be). If the receiver is following us I want to send a private message, if he's not I want to send a mention. So all I need are three things: Find out who is following us, send direct messages, send 'normal' messages.

I recently found some stuff that might make this very easy and so msghub might by supporting Twitter soon.

I'm also thinking a lot about the concepts of 'finding' other users on our platform. It does not make any sense to enter all email/twitter/facebook/... addresses of your friends if they are on msghub too. But there are some hard problems.
If you could search for them everyone could come along and grab all that information. If we pretend that by only showing one Address (f.e. email) someone might enter your friends email but his own Twitter account. If you then search for your friend in order to send him a message, you will find him and assume that's it's really him, because the email-address matches. But you would not see the wrong twitter account. Your friend would indeed get the mail, but the tweet would go to the attacker.
We want to prevent both things but atm I can't see a way to do that yet.
I'm really thinking alot about it! If you have any great idea please tell us!
