> A new developer will never be able to get 800k tokens while the new rules stand.

What makes you think that?

Twitter didn't set a hard limit of 100K tokens for all new apps. That's just the initial limit. You can request more, and I assume they would grant them to popular, legitimate apps.

It will be difficult however for "traditional" clients to get deals for more than 100k tokens.

> That upper-right quadrant also includes, of course, "traditional" Twitter clients like Tweetbot and Echofon. Nearly eighteen months ago, we gave developers guidance that they should not build client apps that mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience."And to reiterate what I wrote in my last post, that guidance continues to apply today.
