Great point. The API access restriction hasn't stung TapBots yet but the token caps are frustrating and potentially stifling to future growth. I'm interested to see what Twitter will do when Tweetbot starts to approach the maximum number of

I think the statement "if you're building your platform on another platform; you're at the mercy of the underlying platform" is more accurate. Facebook and Twitter have changed their Terms of Services/APIs multiple times which has resulted
