Twitter API Debate – Anne Haynes
Posted Friday Jan 23 2009 | Anne Haynes | SEM |
Following are my thoughts after reading a post by Louis Gray. Geechee_girl speaks her mind in more ways than one. And William educates the masses on “closed source”.
Twitter’s API Grip
Boo on Twitter for being greedy closed source developers! I don’t feel twitter should ask for money from users. I will not pay for all the functionality that Geechee_girl mentions in her comment. Twitter needs to fix their code to scale for all the other services using the API. Twitter there is enough money for everyone. Givers gain and takers toil!
I love automation and integration tools with Twitter. I think everyone uses Twitter differently. I don’t have time to spend 8 hours behind Twitter using my mobile or my computer. Automation tools allow me to not be rude and automatically follow someone that follows me. I don’t think spam is an issue either. If someone spams, I unfollow them – it’s that simple.
William thanks for bringing up the white elephant! Nice job!
