Ok also I am actually not authenticating the user. I am using "http://
twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/bob.json" to obtain the user's last
20 tweets.

My app is only making this single api call. Still, I don't think I am
being allowed 70 api calls per hour. If I make a different api call,
say for a different user, such as

"http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/ahujaankit.json";

Would that also count in the 70 that are allowed?
