One of the most important features to this update from the operating side of things is the fact that when we start reaching new levels of usage, we will know in advance and update API service accordingly.

With the current listed measures installed, if it happens that let's say on a certain day, tipping goes all crazy and people tip all over Twitter, the queue will ensure everything runs in accordance with the API service that is currently most applicable (as per regular usage).

We are doing everything possible to ensure that the user experience on Twitter is guaranteed to be excellent while at the same time doing everything necessary to ensure we fully respect the sites norms for third party services.

I personally can't express how glad I am to see people being able to tip other people and not get ripped off by some "middle man". As giving is a very personal thing and someone skimming off the top of that to fill their own pockets, just isn't "nice"! (that is the nicest word I could think of).

We can change the world of giving/tipping, all thanks to the Hive economy/ecosystem.

Cheers.
