Because the alternative is to build CRUD app startups like Basecamp, with no dependencies on any API or 3rd party data. Useful, no doubt, but a saturated market

- SoftwareMaven 14y agoSaying "CRUD application" is like saying "Java application". It's an implementation detail and not an actual feature. Tumblr is a CRUD application, yet it shares almost nothing with Basecamp. Focusing on the technology does not make great products. FWIW, I think there are a lot of potentially interesting applications that could be built on Twitter, but they've proven themselves hostile to the idea. I don't even trust them as an OAuth provider anymore.
