Yes I bought it, but I feel like I am supporting Twitters anti-customer behavior.

Darrin: I would only like Plume better (and even that is questionable since it’s not supported for anything other than android). Tweetbot is a very good client. Not perfect, but very good.

It’s not a shame. It’s a business decision. Just the way Appl would patent a unique way to sneeze e.g. “standing on 1 leg – then – 2 legs – then jumping a bit – then – sneeze turning right slowly at 45 degrees”

We should remember that while Twitter is very cool, it’s not making a lot of money – they have a platform that’s difficult to monetize. I think the solution is to expand more into the corporate sector where they can charge for token, as Douglas suggested.

Why doesn’t twitter sell the tokens to developers. Free market. They are a business right? Sell something other than ads.

It’s a shame that Twitter puts these kinds of restrictions on developers, especially when Tapbots makes best-of-platform Twitter clients for iOS and now OS X.
