Twitter sets max user caps for 3rd party clients and limits rates
Basic truth: New technology is driven by early adopters, who then influence their less tech-savvy pals. Happened with Google, happened with the iPhone, and it happened with Twitter.<p>So now that the obvious is out of the way – we'll look back one day and see this as the day Twitter fucked the dog.<p>They've made a decision that motivates the very core of early adopters who embraced Twitter to move on.<p>Yeah, they have to make money. They've convinced themselves the experience must be entirely under their control to do it. Okay. And maybe that's so.<p>And maybe they'll squeeze some pennies out for awhile.<p>In the meantime, there's a group of folks who first jumped into Twitter during the days where you weren't chained to their mediocre user products. They'll start the move to a better network.<p>And one day, everyone will look around and see all that's left on Twitter is the glitter gif morons and big brands with more money than sense, just as happened with MySpace.
