Why IFTTT Removing Twitter Triggers is A Warning For Developers

It's not a warning for developers. We know Twitter is sketchy territory.

This is a warning to users. A service that emulates programming must exclude Twitter's API is the best way to explain to an average user why Twitter's new policies suck.

We're still going to get an orgy of he-said-she-said Techcrunch and TNW IFTTT posts over the next 12-36 hours, longer if Twitter actually comments on this.

Protip: if you are interested in news that actually matters over blogspam, don't read Techcrunch et al.

And I don't. Well OK, maybe once in a while, but I got off the TC train 'round about the "Arrington (supposedly) got spit on!" era.

The more twitter is going down that path the more app.net makes sense - already hearing from quite a few that their twitter accounts are slowly dying / they are not checking much on it anymore due to the high noise to content ratio

This why this is important to put the basis theory of API neutrality http://api500.com/post/31465739810/what-is-api-neutrality
