Re: [twitter-dev] Any chance to get more than 20,000 calls per hour?
Question for you, Why is someone with > 1m followers going to care about which ones are spammers? Or for that point, why is someone with > 10k followers going to care? I'm curious. Apart from knowing 735 of my 10,000 followers are spammers, what's the benefit? I guess that's going to be the secret sauce you reveal on launch. :-) Tim.

Re: [twitter-dev] Any chance to get more than 20,000 calls per hour?
I would suggest that you shouldn't limit your application development by attempting to cover all user cases. It's highly unlikely that a celebrity will ever use your service when it is starting out. Instead, I'd focus on the common case user and first prove your value there. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Any chance to get more than 20,000 calls per hour?
Hi there, We have been building this application since 6 months now. It is anti- spam app which works with very different algorithms and has been very useful for twitter user (we have tested it with 150 calls). But the problem is our apps dig out lot of follower data to let the user know whether his followers are spam or not (it doesn't allow users to unfollow anyone). We all know, Twitter api consumes 1 call for retrieving 100 followers of a particular twitter user. Now 20,000 calls are ok with normal users but some celebrities like Aston Kutcher, Britney Spears and EV have more than 2 million followers which means we cannot track. If they were few it would be ok but day by day as Twitter is growing at amazing rate many users are passing the 2 million milestone. So our app becomes useless for these users and which makes it imperfect. This is totally anti-spam app and I am sure folks at Twitter will love it once it does its work to chop off spam users. I know there have been many such apps but this is something everyone would love. We are done coding our app just wanted to know how can we track users more than 2 million followers? Would whitelisting more than 1 ip and switching them be the right thing to do? Can Twitter allow more than 20,000 calls for 1 ip on special request? Hoping to get answers, Thank you!
