Welcome back to the weekly Twitter column. The biggest and saddest Twitter news this week was another blow to the Twitter app developer community: Twitter banned all third party stream ads to monopolize advertising for it’s own “featured tweets” ad platform.
While on the one hand, it’s understandable, Google doesn’t allow competing services to sell ads in search results either, on the other hand this a typical measure to stifle competition we all love to hate.
Where’s the retweet? Can you see it?
The big news today: Twitter will finally accept retweets and make them part of the built in system or simply put the Twitter home page. At first I was moderately happy about this overdue move until I read the fine print.
In future Twitter will let people block your retweets.
