    I don't blame them for the price tag. I would have done the same thing (maybe not as high) but that is pretty dumb that they have to limit it to 100,000 users. Twitter definitely needs to increase that number.

    Part of it I would think. Locking down the APIs so that users will be forced to use their site instead, thus cuasing a rise in revenue for Twitter themselves.

    Is their actual ads on Twitter.com? I've been using adblock for so long that I've forgotten that there were so many ads on google.

    Same here, I forgot what ads are like xD. For example I never knew there was a banner ad at the top of iFans. Luxury extensions.

    This is why Facebook has more users. :p Not really, but still...that is ridiculous that one has to pay for the App.

    Just look at it in the App Store. The app deserves to be paid.
