Well, based on this article, anything is allowed. It's just a matter of can you monetize it, knowing that Twitter is focusing on its own client as a core product. An SXSW app doesn't seem too monetizable to begin with, but no reason why you can't make it.
Having said that, I am confused as to what happens if you do make a new competing client. Is this really just friendly advice to developers to not compete against Twitter, or will Twitter block your API access?
- adamesque 16y agoNot at all. This sounds more like friendly advice to developers making it clear that they plan to compete in this area. Because theirs have the benefit of being the official apps, you may have a harder time gaining traction. The writing was on the wall with the Tweetie acquisition and newtwitter, but now there's a blinking neon sign there.
- alain94040 16y agoThis sounds more like friendly advice to developers I would agree with you if they had not changed their terms of service, to make it illegal for you to do <unclear> things. A simple warning saying: "we intend to compete in the client space" would have been fair.
