Have to admit it is kinda scary to develop for twitter, but maybe when more plans are released we'll understand twitter's plan a bit better. I don't begrudge Tweetie for being acquired, good for them, i'm sure it was a nice deal for them. It's a very narrow tightrope twitter walks though with developers.... will be interested to see how it all unfolds.
