ThinkUp's crawler initially captures follows quickly, but is slow to update them all if they change quickly, especially users with 100k+ friends/follows. If a ThinkUp user is browsing a list of friends or followers or links/photos from, and the user knows that follow relationship doesn't exist on the originating network anymore but hasn't been updated in ThinkUp, there should be some sort of recourse.

My suggestion: add a "check this relationship" link, which queries the source network and updates just that friendship on the fly.
