As Tatham said, each access token gives you up to 350 GET Request per hours.
Make some requests (signing them with different access tokens) and look at
the X-RateLimit-Remaining header.

If you use their OAuth token for each request, then aren't you counting
against their usage limit?
You could have 5000 users sign up in an hour. You perform 5000 API calls
using 5000 different OAuth tokens. Each API call is one count against each
token. Each user now has one less API call left that hour.
That's how I understand it ...

Subject: [twitter-dev] getting historical data for more than 150 / 300
users
How can an app get the historical twitter stream for more than 150 /
300 users in an hour? Those users are all signing up to our service and
giving us their Oauth tokens. If more than 150 / 300 sign up in an hour, we
can't get their historical data using the REST API because of Twitter's
limits. Twitter's streaming API will let us get tweets for that user going
forward in time, but won't allow us to see the tweets that are already in
their stream.
Is there any solution for this use case? We want to offer a service that
parses user's twitter streams for statistical data, but if we can't go back
and get their historical record, they'll have nothing when they first log in
to the site.
