You realize, this is just going to increase the number of apps built upon Twitter... That may not be a bad thing.



And that is great. More innovations. The Twitter team is not able to build all the necessary applications to fully take advantage of their system.


That is, until Twitter cuts down again the number of requests you can make through their API.


Innovation? It's some funny pictures and videos drawn from Twitter, which is itself not that innovative. It's not that great. There's nothing special here.


I wonder if the Twitter team realized the potential ways people have taken and will take the basic twitter platform when they came up with the idea.
