I don't believe that Twitter has to limit requests to avoid bots.

They would just have to limit requests by IP and thats it. Say 10 tweets per IP per day. For requests which do not come from logged in users.

I can't see how scrapers would be able to come up with enough IPs to make a dent in Twitters costs.
