I have absolutely no problem with Twitter trying to earn money. I just don't get how they are trying to do it?
When I'm reading my Twitter timeline in Twitterific, I'm not seeing ads. Which is probably why twitter wants me to use their website.
But why don't they just require third-party apps to show paid tweets? IIRC it's not even possible currently, because ads don't show up in their API output.
It seems insane to stymie the universe of alternative CLIENTS when what you contrl is the MESSAGES.
