Dave raises a good point with respect to Twitter starting to wall things off now that they’re popular:
Also feels a bit screwy that we helped them build their network, for free (isn’t it funny people only look at how they give stuff away) — only to find that now they want to take back what was open about it.
It’s like using people to test your blogging platform by offering them a “free” service, only to turn it off when you’re done with them and then only return their data if they kiss your ass. It’s kinda slimy.
…he’s still 100% wrong about the AP, though, and still hasn’t disclosed the obvious conflict of interest.
