Question of the week: Is Twitter biting the hand that feeds it?

This week Twitter announced: We don't want you making Twitter apps that just let you read and write to Twitter any more.

What do you think about that? Is it fair for them to let third party developers help make Twitter the giant it is today, only to turn their back on them later down the line? Maybe Twitter is just doing what it has to in order to help the users know what Twitter is? What do you think. Please let me know in the comments section of this post.

Feedback

Thanks to Jon Butler (interviewed on the jonwitout episode) who asked on the techmate episode about why I leave feedback and other comments to the end of the shows. I have answered this question in a separate post: "Why Leave Feedback Till After The Interview?", so please post your comments on that question there.

Please add any feedback for this week's episode in the comments section below.

Tip of the week

My tip this week: subscribe to the Web Evangelism Bulletin, by @soonguy - Every month you get a large handful of links to great articles, which you should be able to appreciate if you are a non-Christian too.

Be interviewed too
