I would like the user to start typing their friends twitter name into a text field and then an option comes up to complete it (like in the twitter app.) Am I allowed to do this by twitter and if so, how would I go about it?

Although, you would probably need those twitter accounts pre-indexed somehow for it to work. That would probably be the easiest way. Have a SQLite database or something containing the names and the links and then perhaps some regular expressions to parse through it. There may be an easier way, too. I don't know.
