Hey Alex,

The application retrieves all of the @replies to a single specific
user using http://twitter.com/statuses/replies.xml and stores them to
a database.

As there is a limit of the last 20 @replies and I do not know really
how much traffic I am requesting the replies.xml on every visit.
It could be as high as 2500 requests an hour or as few as 200, but I
think it will be a very brief period of high traffic with a plateau
and decline within 60 hours to a sustained level of 500/hr.

If there was a way to retrieve more than the last 20 @replies, say 500
or so, I could easily step this frequency down using caching and not
worry about missing any replies.

Does that make sense?

Thanks Alex,

-Lee
