Twitter API Changes

Talk about a shit sandwich for consumers of Twitter’s API. I particularly love this:

With our new API guidelines, we’re trying to encourage activity in the upper-left, lower-left and lower right quadrants, and limit certain use cases that occupy the upper-right quadrant.

Oddly I couldn’t give two shits about most Twitter applications that aren’t in the upper-right quadrant they apparently loathe.

Also, the tone of the post is that of a message from on high to the peasants below. Twitter’s ego has gotten out-of-hand.
