A long time it was capped down to 30 requests/hour and now it is up(!!) to 100 requests/hour, that's good news for developers. “It seems that Twitter capped API requests down to 100 hits per hour, unannounced.”

A long time it was capped down to 30 requests/hour and now it is up(!!) to 100 requests/hour, that’s good news for developers.

It means that more third party services will start to work better. Today, other than a handful of services like Summize (which was just acquired by Twitter) and Friendfeed, third party apps must talk to Twitter via their normal APIs. Those APIs require applications to send Twitter a request and then get a response. The two way communication creates a big load on Twitter in the aggregate. With XMPP Twitter just sends out all of their data in a constant stream, whether you ask for it or not. The third party, in this case Gnip, takes the data and parses it for further use."

Anyway, this should not be a priority. The "older" should always be there, the "replies" should always work, and I want the "with_friends" back (how long is it gone now?). This morning I had a update from someone I'm NOT following. Some downtime now and then is annoying but I can live with it, as long as they give us all the services. But no.. instead of working on that, they are redesigning it... Twitter, Whàt are YOU doing?!!
