Tom,
Yes, that code works perfectly for me exactly as is. You might want to
change the connect timeout from 10 to 30 seconds.
How long are you waiting before calling it quits? It does take a few
seconds for /track to start sending your results.

I looked through the API, the online discussion, and wrote test code
to check both the authorize and authenticate methods. I have not been
able to find any difference between the two, apart from the request

My flow is like this

Use this request token to obtain access token

The difference between authenticate and authorize is that if the user is
already logged into Twitter and previously approved your application when
hitting the authenticate URL they will bounce directly back to your
application without seeing the allow prompt or any page from Twitter. With

Yup, when you do back-offs, ya can't do them deterministically, ya
gotta do them for a random amount, generally uniformly distributed
between some upper and lower bounds.
It's the bounds that increase geometrically or exponentially, up to
some limit, but the each back-off should be random
If you're coding in PHP then it is extremely easy to switch IP
