With No Notice, Twitter Adds More Limits - Password Trouble Ensues
Jul 17, 2009

Submitted by Fruchter from Google Reader: Twitter is up to their old antics of adding limits again, changing the API, and not telling developers as they do so.  This morning Twitter released into production new limits around their verify_credentials() method in the API, only allowing users to verify their usernames and passwords through Twitter applications 15 time (Read More)

: The rip-off charging by monopolies has to stop - and this is a major step - because you know they would have abused it. Is TWC still charging NYC consumers $29 a month for free calls in NY State as part of its bundles? I can call Europe for free using Vonage ... why would I pay TWC all that money? Just an example ...

: President BO: Would it not be as simple as appointing someone who could suggest to the auto-companies that they actually innovate and design/build a product the American public would want to buy in the first place? Or, perhaps it's as simple as stopping them from burning millions of dollars fighting tougher emissiosn controls as the rest of the world - including their competitors - head towards a greener planet?

Is Blogging Doomed? Why A-Lister’s Are Quitting and Dan Lyons Is Just Plain Wrong
Feb 10, 2009

Louis Gray - FriendFeed We are most definitely in the midst of an evolution of the blogosphere. The recession is causing reality to hit home. Some of the A-List bloggers are leaving the business. What’s going on here? Missy Ward tweeted out a link to this story on WebProNews. Apparently, Dan Lyons (aka “fake” Steve Jobs) is now quitting blogging. (Read More)

: Good read on the state of blogging, though I'd add that if you're well focused in an area other than Tech blogging that has a large enough readership to attract there's still lots of room for new bloggers to jump in and do well out there.
Reply

Saxonchap,
Feb 12, 2009
: Perhaps blogging activity is down because folks are too busy tweeting and seeing who is following them on Twitter instead? There are only so many hours in the day and with all these mini-apps sprouting up, it's virtually impossible to truly focus for fear of being left behind.

Facebook proves how lame it is – steals from Twitter and FriendFeed
Feb 10, 2009

The Inquisitr » Tech Before we go any further I should make something clear – just in case you haven’t figured it out by now – I am not a fan of Facebook. I don’t agree with its terms of service which gives them total ownership over anything I do while I am there. I don’t like some of the moves that they have; or are rumoured to be looking at, (Read More)

: I haven't yet brought myself to use FB for business .. it just hasn't seemed the right thing to do. But FB's seeming approach - to wait and sift out the good from the ugly of Web 2.o - is going to ensure that their product remains viable.

: I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. That's the equivalent of slagging of an email programme for having a "reply" button, just because the earliest Usenet readers had the same feature. System APIs for external connection have been around since the 1990s (at least). If you don't like a system, or the rules it imposes on you when you use it, then don't use it.

: I'm not sure who is the biggest culprit at this point - Google or the Author's Guild. Bluntly, Google broke the law - riding all over any kind of decency in their normal arrogant approach to the world. Don't get me wrong - Google has great products - but that does not give them the right to break the law. The AG presumably went for the promotional potential versus their legal obligations. YOu can bet it woudl be different if Google went after, let's say, older Disney products (another copyright debacle in its own right).
