- pierrefar 18y agoIf they're going with the platform strategy, I'll offer an analogy: Windows has basic features built in like Notepad and Calculator, but that doesn't mean others can come along and build a much better implementation of these programs. I fear they're running the risk of creating a platform that's too "bland". [I like TipJoy BTW :) ]
- sh1mmer 18y agoTheir strategy isn't really very open though. With heavy rate limiting and lack of a decent auth mechanism it's pretty sucky. I really don't like having to store a user's password. Once twitter have OAuth and XMPP I'll think of them as open.
- ivankirigin 18y agoI thought it was Twitter that made XMPP a popular topic? And can't you just use Gnip? http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/18/twitter-plays-nice-xmpp-firehose-data-feed-to-gnip/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/18/twitter-plays-nice-xmpp...
