maybe there just needs to be a separate joke-free twitter exclusively reserved for sandwich tweets

summary: twitter is about to weaken/cripple third party clients
― * The "no hands" rule can be compared to socialist tax policies (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:41 (eleven years ago) link
ya im curious to see how this plays out, seems like it wouldve been wiser to just make it so third party clients were forced to display all of twitters ads and couldnt serve any of their own, not sure what they gain by cutting users off from how they like to use the service, particularly considering a lot of the functionality twitter uses in its own apps originated in third party ones, i mean all of twitters apps started out as third party apps then they bought them
― lag∞n, Saturday, 18 August 2012 14:28 (eleven years ago) link
fortunately the tweetbot people are not too worried
― * The "no hands" rule can be compared to socialist tax policies (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 18 August 2012 22:25 (eleven years ago) link
seems like they should be that theyre only allowed to grow to twice their number of current users
― lag∞n, Saturday, 18 August 2012 22:28 (eleven years ago) link
and new services are only allowed to goto 100k
but yeah, twitter doesn't seem all that good at fostering a community. you're otm about just forcing ads, and otherwise letting people go about their business.
xxp that's definitely a worry. not sure whether it's technically anticompetitive, but it certainly hacks into what has been an open market long enough for an industry to develop.

i guess it makes sense that twitter would put limits on certain apps making use of its api, especially those that scrape huge amounts of data for analytics and stuff, not necessarily the user clients? nobody likes a fail whale
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Sunday, 19 August 2012 00:53 (eleven years ago) link
yeah but it seems to be happy with the analytics apps
― * The "no hands" rule can be compared to socialist tax policies (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 19 August 2012 01:16 (eleven years ago) link
from the mashable article:
Twitter is explicitly telling developers not to focus on the upper right-hand quadrant — traditional Twitter clients and syndication — and is instead urging developers to focus on other quadrants for their apps and services.
― * The "no hands" rule can be compared to socialist tax policies (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 19 August 2012 01:17 (eleven years ago) link
the delineation between enterprise clients and traditional clients seems a lil fuzzy
― lag∞n, Sunday, 19 August 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
What would a followers/following management app be considered? That's pretty much the only thing I use concerning twitter that isn't on the main website. Oh, well, that and link shorteners.
― Frobisher the (Viceroy), Sunday, 19 August 2012 18:10 (eleven years ago) link

I had ifttt throwing FB status updates to my gcal but then on my anniversary I wrote something like "celebrating a year of love.." and fucking ifttt put that status into my cal for every day between my first and second anniversary. So glad I was able to edit the date of the "event" and declutter the calendar. It did that with twitter - picked random dates using the time stamp etc.

ok so it looks like you can still use other channels to trigger new tweets, but you can't use tweets to trigger other channels or push tweets to other services. definitely less useful, some functionality remains but it's been cut down a lot.
