According to this article, "Twitter will discontinue offering free access to the Twitter API starting February 9 and will launch a paid version." I use the Twitter API to publish posts to the Twitter edition of OLDaily. If the free API ceases working, then the Twitter edition of OLDaily will cease publication on that date. It of course will still be available on this web page, by email, by RSS and on @Mastodon. If that happens I'll probably shut down my Twitter account as well, because what's the point? More on In the Know, The Verge, CNet, Reddit.
