I look over at Twitter API land every once in a while just to see what craziness is happening. This week? They decided to remove the API that returns the following/followers for users. No notice, no comments, nothing. API stopped working, documents remove any mentions about it.

Is it a bug, is it on purpose? No one who knows is talking.

Imagine paying $100/5000/42,000+ a month for this.

@paul I see someone in that thread saying they’re paying the $100k/mo, what I want to know is what app utilizing TwitterAPI is worth that? Who are these people‽
@tom @paul it’s the weirdest mix of companies… Flowers By Irene, Carl’s Incredible Apples, Nancy’s Spicy Aromas, Melvin’s Oven Sautéed Sausages And Dumplings, Kevin’s Great Bacon, Marty’s Incredible Five, Carol’s Savoury Ingredients Sellers.
