He knew it was coming, he knew it was wrong. Why would he need more warning than two hours? Why even a warning?
- StavrosK 12y agoNothing indicates that he knew it was "wrong", only that Twitter won't like it.
- tptacek 12y agoAmong many problems: when applications exploit Twitter metadata to send unwanted unsolicited messages, that makes users far less willing to authenticate other apps to Twitter. I'm already paranoid about doing that (and Facebook authentication), because who knows how the app will choose to embarrass me?

Startups will probably still try to do it anyways, though.
