Hey, I'm making a small-application for our apartment complex at the
university I'm attending. It's going to be used for campus announcements and
requests. A lot of people have the same ip addresses, as both our university
and local apartment complex use the same low-level internet provider. We
often get a message in windows that another user has the same ip address as
one of us. It's annoying! Anyways, my question: I know I'm going to be using
the API (rss mainly) more than 100 times per hour with as many people as
we're expecting.... 1.) If I make the users create accounts, and I
authenticate them when getting status feeds... will that work even if a lot
of them have the same ip address? Like, does the rate limit take in account
their ip address if they're authenticated? I've tried testing this by using
http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/statuses/user_timeline/xxxxx.rss I'm
still rate limited, even if I use another username and password combination.
I'm hoping what I tried for an example isn't the same thing as HTTP basic
auth. 2.) Another question. Is there any way to set twitter to auto-send an
email when a user they're following posts a new tweet?

ps: I dont think my browser is working correctly. New to Google Groups. I
posted, but nothing showed up. Trying to send through my email. Sry!!
