Tweetbot and Twitterrific Face the Cliff

There is something noble about two longtime rivals — competitors, yes, but with nothing but deep respect and camaraderie for each other — facing this terrible cliff together, with dignity and grace, considering their users first, as ever.

@daringfireball Apple could really throw shade on Twitter by covering the full cost
@mithlond They could, in theory, but I suspect Apple doesn’t want to set a precedent for the App Store that way. They strive to treat all developers equally.
@gruber @mithlond Equally badly, but that’s a different story. Nevertheless, this is a great move from both companies. I downloaded Tweetbot and did the decent thing. Thanks for sharing this and the write-up to explain 👍🏼
