Hi, I work for Grupo Abril in Brazil (http://www.grupoabril.com.br/IN/ index.shtml), the largest publishing group in Latin America with a growing web operation as well. Our flagship magazine, "Veja", which is like Time magazine in Brazil, is the 4th largest in the world by circulation numbers.
The team I work with would really like to build an app for Twitter but we are certain that the API rate limits would prevent it from working properly and thus I'd like to know if is there any means by which we could work around that. I've tried to reach the partnerships folks at Twitter (at part...@twitter.com) last week, but haven't heard back from them since. The app would be placed in our city guide product for the web. It's focused on what's trendy or upscale just like the New York Mazagine (http://nymag.com/) or Time Out (http://newyork.timeout.com/). It would work just for the city of São Paulo at first but we'd expand it to other major cities across the country afterwards. The city guide is an extension of our flagship magazine (we have "Veja São Paulo", "Veja Rio" etc,). Basically, it's a flirting app for missed connections that would take place in venues listed by our guide. We believe it's a fun way to place Twitter at the heart of an important kind of social activity for urban trendsetters. With our app, users would be able to start conversations via DM anonymously before revealing their identities to one another. That's why we are very confident that we would exceed the API limits on a sustained basis. I'd more than happy to discuss the details of the app before we could move on with it. Thanks a lot. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
