Tweetro says it's 'completely crippled' by Twitter's strict 100,000 user token limit | The Verge
www.theverge.com
on 11/12/2012
Excerpt: Tweetro has fallen victim to Twitter's strict new API policies that were announced earlier this year. According to an email we received from Tweetro developers, the app saw a huge spike in downloads after the release of Windows 8, and rapidly reached its 100,000 user token limit. Users now receive a "cannot connect to service" error when trying to authenticate the application, and Tweetro developers say the app is "completely crippled" as a result. Twitter originally said that developers would have until January or March of 2013 to comply with the platform's API changes, so Tweetro developers are questioning why their app has been cut off so early — especially when Twitter has yet to release its own official app for Windows 8.... read the full post.

Ecosystems

on 09/07/2012
Excerpt: I love Twitter. I’m coming up on six years using the service, and there are few other Internet services I’ve used as much these past six years. If you’re in the tech industry, there has been a lot of gnashing of teeth about changes Twitter is making to its API. A lot of folks see this as a bunch of techie-geeky inside baseball, that these are changes that only affect developers (and not real people who use the service), and for the most part they’re probably right. But Twitter has thrived in large part because it has built an ecosystem. One where lots of people were encouraged to build cool tools on top of Twitter, tools that allow us to use, and interact with, Twitter in ways that best fit our needs.... read the full post.

API Mutiny on Web 3.0
blog.cobia.net
on 07/03/2012
Excerpt: API developers are ready to stage a mutiny. Will the captains of Twitter, LinkedIn, and NetFlix make developers walk the plank? During early market colonization days by Twitter, LinkedIn, NetFlix, Pinterist, and Instagram, the companies prioritize customer land grab over trade and commerce. Web 2. 0 companies often choose to build distribution channels first. The accepted navigation route includes courting third party developers with Open APIs and pseudo Open Data. The data is freely available, readily accessible, and governed by limited commercial terms of service. The corporate path to monetization is through advertising and light data API linking rather than building a deep ecosystem platform.... read the full post.

Twitter Won’t Kill the API
blog.programmableweb.com
on 07/03/2012
Excerpt: Let’s get real about Twitter’s plans for their API. Even though the New York Times claims that Twitter wants to “kill“ its API and developer ecosystem, and some competitors demand that Twitter data is too valuable to society and must become part of an open, federated infrastructure, neither of these things are going to happen. Twitter is not free, and it does not belong to its users. It is a business that belongs to its investors. Turning off the API or giving away Twitter’s competitive advantage over its data would hurt Twitter’s chances of going public eventually, so it is a certainty neither of these “ominous“ events are part of Twitter’s plans.... read the full post.

Twitter cuts off service to LinkedIn, API changes draw ire

on 07/03/2012
Excerpt: (CBS News) Twitter, the micro-blogging site, has cut off tweets on the professional social network LinkedIn, ending a two-year partnership. Twitter is a website that lets users broadcast 140-character status updates, or tweets, in real time. The micro-blogging service has had a partnership with LinkedIn since 2009. "If you had previously synced your LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, and selected the option to share Tweets on LinkedIn, those Tweets generated from Twitter will no longer appear on LinkedIn. There will be no other changes to your LinkedIn experience," Ryan Roslansky, LinkedIn head of content, said in a blog post. LinkedIn users will still be able to post updates to Twitter from LinkedIn, but not the other way around.... read the full post.

In Closing Its Platform, Twitter Risks Destroying Its Community

on 07/02/2012
Excerpt: After attaining unlikely success as an open platform, Twitter is demanding that third-party apps show Twitter’s stream the way the company wants them to. “You need to be able to see expanded Tweets,” Product Manager Michael Sippey wrote in an announcement on Friday afternoon. He said those features make Twitter “more engaging and easier to use. ” But if Twitter squeezes too hard on third-party developers, it risks damaging something more important to the company than any set of features: It risks destroying the culture that has grown up around it. “These are the features that make Twitter Twitter,” Sippey wrote, referring to expanded tweets.... read the full post.

Did Twitter just cut off its entire face to spite its nose? On Friday, the company put up eviction notices for third-party apps that mimic tools and services that Twitter provides. But some of those apps are far superior to Twitter’s offerings. In a blog post with the headline “Delivering a consistent Twitter experience,” the company gave a stern warning to developers who build applications on the Twitter platform.... read the full post.

Judge to Twitter: turn over OWS protester's tweets
www.privacysos.org
on 07/02/2012
Excerpt: But today a Manhattan judge ruled that the micro-blogging company must turn over Occupy Wall Street protester Malcolm Harris' tweets to prosecutors, who want to use them as evidence to prove their allegation that Harris knew of and disobeyed police orders to leave the Brooklyn Bridge on October 1, 2011, when he and about 700 other people were arrested. Protesters say the police allowed them onto the bridge only to surround them, trap them with orange netting, and systematically arrest them, one by one -- a process euphemistically called 'kettling'. (Protesters are suing the city, alleging that they were not properly notified or given an opportunity to leave the area before they were trapped and cuffed.... read the full post.
