You figure with more than $100-million in venture capital, Twitter could work out how to handle large amounts of traffic coming from a conference or event. Unfortunately, Twitter has decided if a lot of traffic is coming from one IP address, it needs to be rate-limited.
At the MagNet conference today in Toronto, which isn’t a huge event, the Twitter “caged bird” is alive and well.

We had this same problem at the Free State Social (http://www.freestatesocial/) (also not a huge conference). About 250-300 people in a room for a social media gathering; bam. Rate limit. Very frustrating.
