All tech companies, companies really have the tendency to become evil after the become successful. Flattening the opposition or anyone perceived as a treat to their business model, really their bottom-line, will get "flattened". This can include faithful users and developers. This is the basis of capitalism. Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, all media darlings at one time or another, have all exhibited differing levels of douche-baggery at some point. Twitter, like Apple, right or wrong, wants to have complete control of their platform. It certainly is within their rights and not at all shocking that at a certain point, they would reset certain parameters. Whether they go too far remains to be seem. We probably don't need any more Twitter clients, but who knows. Maybe the slickest, most awesome. voice-activated, built-in hipness meter, Twitterlishous(tm) has yet to be written.
