Subject: Bringing rate limits back to normal
We're attempting to get back to 70 requests per hour this week.  We've
just now raised the limit to 40 per hour and things are holding
steady.  If all continues to go well, we should be back to 70 today or
tomorrow.  We'll try to keep it there barring special events that are
announced ahead of time.

Keep BlogHer on your radar as a "special event" in two weeks. Those
mommybloggers are crazy on Twitter.

Otherwise, hopefully we can assum some semblance of normalcy shortly. Thanks
for the good work and the update.

Some of you have noticed that we've currently upped the allowed
requests per hour to 100.  We're still testing whether this rate works
for us, but so far so good.  We'll make a formal announcement once we
know we can stick with it.  At the very least, we won't be going back
below 70.

This improvement is largely due to the work of Evan Weaver, a fairly
recent addition to the Twitter team who you may have seen helping out
around this group.  He's awesome.  If you like having 100 requests per
hour, send him ponies.

SQUEE!  ^5, Evan!  :-)

Now, if the friends/followers API data could just return correctly for
users so Twitter Karma can work right again ... all would be right in
the world!  :-)

Thanks so much guys. You all rock. 100 requests per hour? Hell, I
would've been fine with 50 requests, but 100? Wowzers. Unexpected, and
amazing.

Hey guys, awesome work!

Thanks to both Evan Weaver and Alex Payne, you both deserve much applause.

Maybe you should update the status.twitter.com page though - it still
seems to think you're limited to 20 an hour... whoops!
