Twitter Changes Incite Online Protests http://j.mp/TKEU4w (New York Times) Twitter's new rules for third-party developers have incited an online uproar. After the company imposed stricter rules for its application programming interface, or A.P.I., on Thursday, engineers and developers picked up their virtual pitchforks and took to Twitter and blogs to decry what some described as a "bait and switch." "Twitter looks a lot like the big star who forgot about all the little guys that helped it get to the top," Rafe Colburn, an engineer at Etsy, wrote in a blog post. - - - Great shot of the "Frankenstein" torches and pitchfork crowd heading for the old windmill (accompanying this story!) --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
