Using Require.js with Page.js to do progressive enhancement nicely.

	require(["jquery", "utils", "routeHelpers"], function() {

	// get new page fragment and swap it out.
	var frax = function(context, next) {
	if(!context.init) { // No need to fetch the page as its the initial page load and markup will be in the page.

simonmcmanus / Node.js Example without a lib

Twitter Rate Limits

	/*

	Dear Twitter,

	According to your docs (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting) users authenticated with oAuth should see a rate limit of 350 requests per hours against the REST API.

	Unfortunately despite trying numerous libraries (as suggested in your docs) I have been unable to acieheve this limit.

	I only ever see 150. I have read many of the discussions on the forum which suggest that my oAuth authorisation has not been sucessful. I can however see that the rate limit is not shared accross other users on my IP, each user that logs in gets 150 request per hour. The x-warning field is also never present in the returned data. This suggests to me that my users have sucessfully logged in.
