From the development perspective, Twitter ending its partnership with DataSift does not seem like a big deal. However, this shows the fragility of any partnership with large social sites. If you are building a business based on social APIs, be very careful and have a backup plan. The security section has a few good articles as well, especially the article about China’s Great Cannon, which hopefully does not get aimed at your site.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
