Not to mention the fact that that we've lived through all of this before with Twitter. Entire businesses were built on their API and then were obliterated in one fell swoop.
Time to move on to the next thing, unfortunately.
- LeifCarrotson 9y agoI'm out of the loop, what is the next walled garden everyone's playing in right now? Instagram? Snapchat? Youtube?
- nkozyra 9y agoI'm hoping folks will have a "fool me twice" mentality with this. No API is permanent and no service will ever be reliable in this regard.
- AznHisoka 9y agoOn the other hand, there's been a decent number of people who have made lots of money because they were the first to build an useful product on a platform. Examples being Buffer, Hootsuite, BuddyMedia
- nkozyra 9y agoSure but then you're in the boat where you have some n finite period of time to slingshot from needing API Service to having a viable enough business to live without it.
