[Developers] Write grammar questions: question 4 -- when are links inserted?

[Jason Douglas]

A related API that I don't think a lot of people are aware of is the  
"touch" service:

	http://freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000008435d33

Hitting this API will automatically update the mwLastWriteTime cookie  
(assuming the user-agen has cookie support)... this is especially  
useful if writes are being done by a different user-agent than reads.
