Twitter just made four developer-related announcements at the Le Web conference at Paris. Here is a quick overview:
1. Firehose for everyone. AWESOME. Gets applause. (Twitter’s first announcement). #
2. A new place for Twitter developers. Will launch in a few weeks. Lots of nice features. #
3. Move to OAuth. “This is about rate limits and authentication,” @rsarver says “we are going to be adding in a 10x increase in rate limits.” #
3b: API for browser-less apps. #
4. Chirp, Twitter developer conference coming in Spring 2010 http://chirp.twitter.com #
