Comment on A new and improved Twitter API

Comments

Like to think I'm quite positive when it comes to companies putting things out there, but still can't bring myself to trust Twitter's actions when it comes to their API.

I built and sold (albeit for a very tiny sum of money) one of those text-extender mini-blog tools back in the day off the back of the API. It felt easy, clean and part of the ecosystem.

Every action they took degraded that trust. I know they're a business and the data (and primarily their advertising serving and monitoring tech) is their lifeblood, but... fool me once...
