I wouldn't have chosen to create an application like yours under the
current environment. It seems unwise to do so to me. YMMV.

Whether its writing books or developing applications, it's typically
bad form to assume your own experience mirrors others' experience when
doing a similar type of activity. Generally leads to incorrect

If you don't like what your application does, or find it hard to do
what you want, I might also suggest that you developed your
application at the wrong time. Making financial commitments that rely
on a service which you have no agreement to level or service seems
like a bad idea.
So I guess all us developers just give up? The fact is plain text
passwords are part of the API, and the only way to write apps.
Twitter hasn't removed that from the API, so it's the only way to
write apps right now. People aren't going to stop doing that, and
that's a huge issue.
It's very easy to do what I want to do. I like what my application
does. I don't like how Twitter is making me do it though. I'm up for
a boycott if you can convince my competitors to do so as well - good
luck with that.
