- RomulusX86, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Hopefully Pownce releases an API soon.
- sintaxi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2well done twitter. The fact that you have an API is what has kept me from moving to pownce.

- invader, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1On paper, it looks like a huge loss, because through an API, you aren't displaying ads. What? No revenue? Luckily, in this day and age, more eyeballs equals more value. Who cares about getting pennies a month from ad clicks when you can inflate your user base, then flip the company (or just sell equity) for millions. You don't need a solid business model if you have VCs pounding on your door.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Just like your comment.
- dbr_onix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Without the API, twitter is completely and utterly pointless. The API makes it almost vaguely interesting (along with the SMS tie-ins)
- mrurc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Is this why the AIM bot has been down for the last 6 months? I have never tried to post a message via the AIM bot without receiving a "scheduled maintenance" message, except for that one time where I got no response for 20 minutes and then got a single "scheduled maintenance" message to cover the 6 messages that I had posted before.
No message that I have posted via the AIM client has made it to the site. I went through a trial where I tried several times a day for several days. That is NOT scheduled maintenance and that is why my account is barren. I only post from my phone and the phone browser version sucks (not to mention that I have to load the main page to get the link to the phone version, even though magically google knows that I am on a phone (and by magically I mean by knowing that my ip is in the t-mobile phone block). If I validated my AIM account and can't post from it, why would I validate my texting account and pay t-mobile to send messages to twitter? AIM on my phone is included in my data plan but I have limited free text messages. - binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1Twatter
