Yes, none of this second hand clicking another app's preferences to get sound. Do it native! Your unique sound will serve as curiosity generating marketing for your app. Pleeeeasssse?! :-9

Growl is fine, but c'mon now, Atebits, you're so gifted at design and functions, how about a nifty unique sound too? It will serve as marketing, when people hear it and ask their friend or stranger, what's that sound? Doitdoitdoit!

@mdy Yes, but those using clients are likely more skewed to be the power users, and the people that may be putting out there that they're going elsewhere, or using Twitter less, making for a less engaging experience for more passive users, leading to decreased usage by a number of people.

A simple note, whether through their DMs, or via email, saying "If you use a third party client to get your Tweets, then....." No confusion, all smiles. Everybody's happy.

Twitter suggestion: Send a note to all members about new 30 rec/hour limit!

I think you should send an email to all Twitter members telling them of the new 30 requests per hour change. I've had many people, avid users included, not know about that, and have a lot of frustration on Twhirl, etc, because they don't know about that.

You'd save yourself further bleeding of members, and save unnecessary headaches by doing this one simple thing.

Just a thought.

@phlegon hmm, not sure what to tell you. You've changed it and restarted, or just changed it? Perhaps restarting Twhirl would help...What level did you set it at? Lower then 30?

GreenSmith replied on May 27, 2008 21:02 to the problem "Tweet Limit Exceeded" in Twitter:

@phlegon did you change your network settings on Twhirl? Changing them to 30 for me has gone from having the exact same problem you're mentioning, to none. Depending on your Twitter use, you can easilly tweak how often you get @s DMs, and Tweets each within that 30 per hour limit. Since DMs go to your email, you could make those the least frequent, and get the others quite frequently.

Actually @mdy, that page is helpful to at least have a reference for what they current limit is. I switched to 30 per hour on Twhirl, FF still gets my tweets, and all is fine. This post lays it out very clearly for those needing to adjust to this changed API req limit: http://willfjohnston.com/2008/05/26/t...

GreenSmith asked a question in friendfeed on May 26, 2008 21:36:

Will removing Twitter from my FF account help Twhirl not give me repeated over limit messages?

How do I remove remove Twitter from my account? Twhirl has been giving me over the limit messages, repeatedly, from startup, and I'm trying to remove all other API accesses to address this. Or could it just be Twitter weirdness that taking action here won't address. Halp!

A comment on the problem "Tweet Limit Exceeded" in Twitter:

Ah, I see the Twitter app is already disabled. FriendFeed is linked up to Facebook as well. I'll turn that off, and Twitter w/in Friendfeed. But if there's something unusual with Twitter happening right now that has relevance to this, please let me know, thanks. – GreenSmith, on May 26, 2008 21:16

And no it's not Twittersync I'm using, but Twitter's own Facebook app. – GreenSmith, on May 26, 2008 21:12

I use Twhirl, and this has gotten particularly bad in the past few days. Has Twitter changed something about the limit? Twhirl is now starting up over the limit, and at each 5 minute interval, saying it's still over the limit, repeatedly. Does the Facebook Twitter extension count towards API accesses? I also use Friendfeed. Might this be causing the issue? Halp!
