Ok it's actually just moved a little bit, but more importantly...

Why really should Twitter care? Do they have any obligation to developers? No. Correct me if I'm wrong but legally what's stopping Twitter from shutting off its API and creating its own client?

Twitter is already its own client. Twitter for iPad, iPhone and web are all produced by Twitter - in competition with Tweetdeck, Brizzly etc.

Twitter.com uses their own API now. Shutting it off would be a bad idea.   :)
