Et tu, Twitter?

With Twitter's recent decision to launch proprietary BlackBerry and iPhone apps, third party developers everywhere are screaming out as if they were betrayed. Twitter co-founded Evan Williams explained that this was a strategic decision intended to fuel growth.

"The real problem is that somehow Twitter had convinced the world they were going to 'let a thousand flowers bloom'--as if they were a nonprofit out to save the world, or that they would invent some fantastic new business model that didn't encroach on third-party developers."
