Last week as I was reevaluating the X API, I said I’d pause for a week. I’m now going to hold it indefinitely. It’s a distraction we don’t need, and in my attempt to make it easy to use, I didn’t appreciate how confusing the money part of this would be.

As I said in a follow-up post:

The mission has never changed: post short posts (and everything else!) to your own blog, which makes the web better, and also opens opportunities for smaller, safer communities.

I still believe in POSSE. It also inspired this post over the weekend about politics and open web principles.
