Which seems to put web developers at a sever disadvantage for search and
streaming APIs since rate limits are based on IP addresses. Meaning all my
web users count as one whereas the rate limiting is spread out among all the
users a given desktop client. I asked a while back about this and didn't get
a response.  It just don't seem fair. Seems impossible to build a web app of
anything more than a couple hundred users if those users want to use search
and or streaming. Or correct me.
