Twitbin and twitter’s quota ?


Twitbin quotaI’m trying to be more “present” on Twitter. Until now, I’ve been a silent follower / spectator.

I followed mainly through the Gmail chat client, and when I’m off grid receive all the updates by email. I filter through the twitter-noise and try to get the important updates (market intelligence, benchmark, locations, …).

So I just installed Twitbin, and it didn’t last hald an hour until I got the “Unfortunately you’ve exceeded Twitter’s maximum hourly requests.“.

Yeehaa, I am off to a great start !

    Hi Lauren,
    The problem you are having (we are all having it lately) is that Twitter caps the number of requests that an external tool like twitbin can make per hour. It used to be 70, now its down to 20. So that makes it hard to keep the tweets coming in. Thank you for at least installing it and trying it out. Hopefully twitter will up the capacity once more and things will move smoothly again.

    thanks,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks for commenting !
    I guess when Twitter is up and running well again, this will change.
    Besides, Twitbin is a really cool addon, and could get me into more twittering
