Congrats DeWitt and the rest of the Buzz team! It looks clean and well designed. I also see some stuff here that was part of the FriendFeed API and now the new Facebook Graph API (e.g., the convenient use of "me" to reference the currently authenticated user without needing to remember the user ID)

How do you get around not being able to make HTTP DELETE and PUT calls in all environments (especially JavaScript)? Is there a way to override the HTTP method via a request parameter?

Thanks, Ben! We do have a way of exposing both HTTP verbs and custom verbs via alternative mechanisms, though we didn't document it for this launch. I'm not exactly sure why not, but I'll find out.
