Yea, but users could give a crap about that. It's their official product and the default way for people to use the service. It shouldn't have rate limits on how much you can use their website. They need to fix it.

There is no problem with it being rate limited. Provided that rate is above the rate which a user could reasonably be using twitter at.
This is the intention, but there are probably some limits that we could afford to refine. As people switch over, we're starting to get some good data around usage patterns and will certainly tweak if necessary.
lol...had no idea anyone would find that comment so offensive.
