Comment on Why isn’t Twitter charging for their API?

Comments

I don't think charging for API access will make them as much money as they want/need compared to being a media/ad company, that's probably the main reason. But, you're question did prompt me to ask my own:

Why doesn't Twitter rev-share their ads with 3rd party devs? http://gist.io/3383601

There was talk about this happening years ago: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/twitter_api_to_get_ads_...

I guess nothing ever came of it. :/
