I understand that the twitter 100K Token limit applies on a per application basis.
What prevents an publisher from releasing their App with multiple names/incarnations/artwork - each of which would have 100K users.
I.E. Tweetro Pro, Tweetro Advanced, Tweetro Universal, Tweetro Media edition, etc...
- mochizuki 14y agoTheoretically nothing, but who wants to break up their product like that? The number of different versions would scare away users and they probably wouldn't reach 100k in the first place. How would they identify versions that have reached a token limit?
- masklinn 14y agoActually theoretically Twitter will probably revoke all their tokens and their API key for trying to run around their rules.
- joeblau 14y agoThey'd probably get all of their Twitter API key's revoked for "Duplicate Functionality." The 1.1 Developer Rules of the road are pretty harsh if you're syndicating tweets.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoWhat prevents it is the non-existence of a contract. Twitter devs live at the mercy of Twitter Inc, which can and will alter the rules as it benefits them. You're not going to skirt the rules with a technicality.
- LiveFanChat 14y agolol thats exactly how mytwitterbutler used to work :) the end user created the api call and named the app whatever they wanted......but hey what do i know i'm a spammer account to Mashable.
