While I am unsurprised, I do feel bad for the developers who are stuck dealing with the manchild who runs Twitter.
Seriously. Imagine the developers who sunk all of their time, effort, and money to make great and beloved 3rd party apps for these platforms to see it completely screwed over in the span of mere months by people who do not understand what made these platforms unique and successful.
Where did I see that before...
But on a serious note, there were Twitter 3rd party apps?
Much like Reddit, Twitter's first mobile apps were developed by third parties. The term "tweet" even originated with one of those apps.
