Glenn FleishmanI just figured out why Elon Musk pulled the plug abruptly on third-party Twitter apps. It’s an experiment. He’s not communicatinganything he’s doing for that reason. He’s looking at metrics to see if killing third-party apps' access to the API results in a reduction in usage and engagement that makes him think he should re-enable it, and then issue a false apology or whatever.
Jonathan Polley@glennf He is also getting those users comfortable with not using twitter. If he does decide to re-enable the API, I wonder what percentage will go back to using it. I will probably not be back.
