With this in mind, we’ve updated our Terms of Service: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_terms. The Opportunity for Developers Developers have told us that they’d like more guidance from us about the best opportunities to build on Twitter.  More specifically, developers ask us if they should

Hello, For a few days now I've read what people have said in reply to the update from Ryan. There are some crazy reactions and responses to what Ryan has said. In essence, the entire reaction is my opinion is completely overblown. Not in any sense what-so-ever have Twitter said that you can no

I agree, Scott. Ryan didn't say you can't post tweets, but everyone heard that. Every tech blog repeated it. Ryan should take a minute and explain that it isn't true. That much would help a lot. He led by saying don't build a client. That is where people stopped reading. I don't think he meant to

Adam, that is a totally incorrect characterization of the companies I listed in the email. A ton of those companies -- CoTweet, Klout, HootSuite, Socialflow -- sprung out of the ecosystem and were started on nights and weekends with no funding. Of course they have gotten some funding now as

Scott, I don't think it's ludicrous to think that Twitter may eventually pull the plug on, say, statuses/home_timeline, effectively eliminating clients. If Twitter's concern is ad revenue, all they'd need to do is add a clause to their TOS specifying that all third-party clients must show in-line

They should insert ads into the stream, and say we can't remove them. That would be great. I have no problem with that, providing they treat us with respect. Give us an appeal process with warning if they don't like what we build. I have no problem with them wanting to make money from things I

It has got to do with the nature of the way content is used. We will also have 'reply' to respond to the user. But, 'Discuss' is there to allow discussion on a certain topic. Imagine the context of the earthquake in Japan. Some user wants to know about facilities being provided by relief agencies

Hey all, I’d like to give you an update about the state of the Twitter Platform and hopefully provide some much requested guidance. Since this time last year, Twitter use has skyrocketed. We’ve grown from 48 million to 140 million tweets a day and we’re registering new accounts at an all-time
