A comment on Twitter Sort.

Hardcoding the validation of the reply is an unfortunate obstacle to scaling this - the server would very quickly become CPU bound. They should really have made a TwitterSortValidationService which sends the answer out to the Twitter API, and then listens for a response confirming whether or not the original sort was correct.

Easy, just use TwitterSort to validate TwitterSort. People can't be wrong twice!

Even better, use stacksort to validate twitter sort! That means you get redundant architecture!
