Twitter's removes source app names from tweets

joshsternberg:

Twitter really, really, really wants people to stay inside Twitter because it really, really, really wants advertising money.

In related news: TweetBot had to take down the alpha of its Mac app because Twitter was counting beta users against the 100,000-user total they implemented just after the alpha was released.

Dear Twitter: I will give you $50. Just give me access to the API and let me do what I want.

Jeeebus Twitter. Twitter’s nonsense doesn’t make me want to join Twitter, at all.
