Twitter is removing the Free Tier completely and this will undoubtedly have a big effect on the connected app ecosystem. If you're using any form of Twitter integrated tooling - this could hurt. It could end up hurting Twitter too. I imagine the phones to Twitter HQ are pretty hot right now!
I've been preparing for FOSDEM this week - I'll be talking about Rosegarden on Sunday. Please join me either in person or online.
Have a great weekend,
Richard
