It would be great if we could add arbitrary URLs to our "following" list with nicknames. @replies to these names in our messages would link to the URL provided, even if there is a local account by that name. (Useful for people who federate to twitter/pownce/etc).

@replies to URLs (ie, @twitter.com/singpolyma) would be nice too, just parse the hcard on the page and use it's nickname/fn as the text and the URL as the link.

OStatus pretty much implements this now, though with some limitations so far on what you can hook up. Making a note that it might be good to extend a bit more to profiles we're kinda half-way able to reach.
