Twitter is Now Also "Closed"
Suddenly Twitter has switched from “open"-access to “closed"/member-only access. In my quick tests with an unsigned browser, existing Twitter links elsewhere don’t open anymore, but Twitter images still do (for a while? or, they are processed differently by the local sites).
FWIW, I will stop linking to Twitter stuff (that will just go to login screens).
The list of "closed"/member-only sites is long and growing:
Many news sites are “closed” (NYT, WSJ, Barron’s, FT, etc);
Facebook was "closed";
Among the discussion boards I am familiar with,
Fidelity FIC was always "closed",
and several switched recently from "open"-access to "closed"/member-only access - M*, PB-Armchairinvesting, etc.
Discussion sites that remain open include MFO, PB-YBB, PB-Big Bang, etc. (At PB/ProBoards, the option for "open" vs "closed" is by the PB forum operator/administrator).
But sadly, lots of "free" stuff on the web is disappearing.
