I was just looking at the form use to apply for whitelisting, which
says you must fill it out while logged in as the account you want the
rate limit raised for. In my case, my app will be used by arbitrary
Twitter account holders, who will not be using my credentials, so

Thanks, Doug. This was what I was originally thinking, but somehow I
convinced myself I was wrong.
Hypothetical: It kinda sounds like if I have a large number of
simultaneous users, I'm better off not being whitelisted. Say I have
1000 simultaneous users (humor me). If I'm not whitelisted, I

I know Chrome does some DNS trickery like this, but I'm not sure

Opera has no trouble finding the starting point (local.mydomain.com/

The official word from Opera is that it's an Opera thing:
