The Twitter-compatible API offers this: /api/statuses/followers.xml?screen_name=<screenname>

It's deprecated and unreliable on Twitter's side, but SN's implementation might be reliable.
If it is, chances are this method would be more efficient (single HTTP request) than what we're doing now (fetching the FOAF file for every user).
