[twitter-dev] Re: direct message whitelisting?

2010-02-07 Thread Dewald Pretorius
Raffi,

I'd request that exceptions not be made for DMs. All of us can think
of functions that will be wildly popular, such as sending bulk DMs to
all your followers, Aweber-like DM autoresponders, etc., etc.

Exceptions are an opened can of worms.

  Hey twitter-development-talk,

  I've searched Google and the list's archives for an answer to the
  following question but have yet to find it: do whitelisted user accounts
  that have been whitelisted for 20k API calls/day have higher direct message
  limits, as well?  If so, what are they?  If not, is there a process for
  getting an account whitelisted for higher direct message limits?

  Thanks!

there are few special cases to the rate-limiting (e.g. number of people that
can be followed a day) that are in place to help control spam and abuse.
