• The API Wars
  Classic grade-A bullsh*t from Steve Gillmor. Typical quote:

  “It’s no small thing that valuable connections these days flow
  over direct messages. The Twitter social graph is constrained
  by the difficulty in managing too many follows, and the follow
  dance leads to cross-follow relationships that business
  relationships to emerge from the value of the affinities which
  attract people to each other. As track and filtering return,
  tools will allow partitioning of micromessages into the atomic
  datatypes of both email and IM, with the added attribute of
  dynamic provisioning based on a project by project basis. This
  is where the money flows, and is made.''

  News flash: no-one cares
