Following on from Tumblr and Instrgram, IFTTT is the latest victim of Twitter’s API changes, which forbid syndication of Tweets to other cloud services. Twitter, rather than being a glue that held other parts of people’s online presence together is trying to become more of a walled garden, like Facebook. This is not a good thing.
The relationships we build and maintain through social networks are far more valuable to us than the networks themselves.
Twitter ignores this at their peril.
