I have been studying APIs since 2010 & while I enjoy the #Technology of APIs, I am really looking for the stories that matters to business and technical leadership, but also to the rest of us.
At this point, you are like what is an API? Well, you just made an API request to read what I wrote and you will make thousands more today alone.

I am writing a story on the Twitter API, and I am curious how others see it, and wanted to solicit some quotes for my story. If you are interested --- Why was the Twitter API Important? Or if you feel, why was it not i mportant?
@jbminn I spend lots of time on filters, but many accounts alternate their fingerprint and bypass.
@giuliowolfe I suspect this is by design. ;-(
@jbminn I'd also like clean up automatically everything after 12 months.
@jbminn Yeah, I don't care about my history. Anything I need I have saved. I just want a flush.
I have spent considerable time cleaning up my Gmail and Google docs because I am getting the big red warning about storage. I've used their data management tools and various interfaces. It is clear they don't want me to clean up my date -- just upgrade. They make it real hard, and every turn -- you should just upgrade.

The next time you use any navigation device, software or Google Maps thank Dr. Gladys West. Her contributions to the mathematical modeling of the shape of Earth, and her work on the development of the satellite models that were eventually incorporated into the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. #BlackMastodon #BlackHistoryMonth
@andypiper Found what I needed. ;-) https://blog.twitter.com/en_us.sitemap.xml
@andypiper Appreciated. I have a couple milestones in my head from memory, but can't pinpoint specific stories. I'll keep scratching. Just trying to build a timeline from 2006 on of meaningful milestones, announcements to learn from.
@remotesynth That is probably the next announcement coming, huh?
I really hate when people limit pagination on blogs. On the Twitter blog I can only paginate back to 2015, then it stops. #PetPeave

Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case (a.k.a. camel case). I made this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags depending on whether they are lowercase or pascal case.
It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.

#Netflix has unveiled the details of its new anti-#PasswordSharing policy, detailing a suite of complex gymnastics that customers will be expected to undergo if their living arrangements trigger Netflix's automated enforcement mechanisms:

Not going to lie, Twitter killing off free API access hits me in the feels. I remember with great affection the flood of creativity that happened after we opened up the API, and it's heartbreaking to see that unceremoniously strangled.
I'm relieved that we've got better alternatives, though. While this is perhaps the final straw for many bots on Twitter, it's been a long time coming and the API has long been hobbled compared to the early days. Open protocols or bust. ✊
This will be the only thing you ever see me cross post from that other site. Only because it has broken my heart. This was the most important API out there. I love and hated it.
