IFTTT will no longer archive tweets

From an email I received from IFTTT:

In recent weeks, Twitter announced policy changes* that will affect how applications and users like yourself can interact with Twitter's data. As a result of these changes, on September 27th we will be removing all Twitter Triggers, disabling your ability to push tweets to places like email, Evernote and Facebook. All Personal and Shared Recipes using a Twitter Trigger will also be removed. Recipes using Twitter Actions and your ability to post new tweets via IFTTT will continue to work just fine.

I can't think of a decision Twitter has made this year that's benefitted anyone. You might think "well, these things benefit their bottom line, because you have to go to Twitter.com to do things now and they feed you ads and they make money," but if you look at all the crap Twitter's pulled and go "screw this, I'll just go back to Facebook or Google+ or just text people like I used to" then no, they're not better off from making these decisions.

The people Twitter are pissing off are loyal, dedicated nerds who championed the platform in its early days. The people who Twitter seems to want are those who don't care. The problem with this is that the people who don't care will leave the second Twitter does something that they don't like. If Twitter keeps pulling plugs with other services, it's only a matter of time before they kick out a cord from a huge network of regular users.
