Sometimes I have ideas of Web services that require the Twitter Search API. But then, after seeing the number of requests you can do by day (150 searches for example), I keep thinking: "well, this app could always be better written by them, on their servers. They could even copy my idea and do a much better implementation because for them there are no API limits."

With 150 (or 1000...) requests per day when your app got minimally successful it would also die.

Is this thinking correct or I'm missing something? (Not a web developer here...)
