I agree. I'd argue that twitter's success made the developers, not the other way around. Certainly, the departure of developers is not going to unmake Twitter, not least because they have the resources to build their own clients now. If I were a TweetDeck user and TweetDeck vanished, I wouldn't stop using twitter, I'd just switch to a new client (as I have many times)...
- trustfundbaby 15y ago... built by a developer right?
- code_duck 15y agoSwitch to a new client, as you have many times... but the developers don't matter? Try having one official mobile client and a web client. And if you don't like either one, you're out of luck - and then the service is out of luck when you stop using it in favor of one with better software. The relationship between developers and service providers is ideally symbiotic.
- AlexC04 15y agoExactly - twitter is doing just fine. The article reeks of sour grapes.
