Yeah. I was recently building a simple bot for Twitter ( a favor for a friend of mine ). Things worked out, but everywhere I go I read "API Rate limited to ... per ..."

I know ... It's tremendous amount of data going on there, so I just don't want to imagine how hard it is to scale it and offer that to everyone.

Nevertheless it's so sad that they break promises.

Twitter nowadays is a bot driven, marketing platform ( with some sort of journalism touch ). I still remember the days that I was excited when I got a new follower. Now I think it's just about "hashtags".
