I'm out of the loop, what is the next walled garden everyone's playing in right now? Instagram? Snapchat? Youtube?


I'm hoping folks will have a "fool me twice" mentality with this.

No API is permanent and no service will ever be reliable in this regard.


On the other hand, there's been a decent number of people who have made lots of money because they were the first to build an useful product on a platform.

Examples being Buffer, Hootsuite, BuddyMedia


Sure but then you're in the boat where you have some n finite period of time to slingshot from needing API Service to having a viable enough business to live without it.
