[twitter-dev] What's happening with Tweetie for Mac

2010-04-12 Thread Ryan Sarver

Crystal clear. 1. You're decimating the client market on every platform but Windows. 2. You're killing any potential for innovation or investment. 3. You have no clear (public) plan for any innovation yourself. What marketing genius... Oh never mind. It's not worth the breath. Good luck

There are a number of people that would like Twitter to consider open sourcing Tweetie for Mac: http://act.ly/1w1 http://act.ly/1w1There is much to be gained such as community contributed patches, a more competitive environment on the Mac, (just to name a few) and little to lose. I hope Twitter

I think it's great that Twitter is finally being more transparent about all this. I could argue they need to be more transparent (where do they plan to go in the analytics and enterprise spaces?), but it's about time. They've finally drawn the line in the sand - now we need to adapt. Yes, it's

Not at all - I've spent 3 years building features constantly replaced by Twitter (or killed due to Twitter changing the TOS). I've been there, and had plenty of my share of crankiness - I guess I'm used to it now, and I realize that's just a part of writing apps for the ecosystem (or any 3rd

hey look, i'm not looking for a flame war here. what twitter did just seemed a bit less than nice to me, that's all. this is the forum for developer feedback, if i'm not mistaken. i was feeding back. you've got a lot of valid points, and maybe a few stretched analogies, too. if you'd like
