Yeah I agree. But I'm not a big fan of having programming revolve around the "big guys." My two cynical cents.

I think it is easier to "test" these types of API calls for beginners with the biggest names. Understanding how to connect to Twitter is simple, and those same principles can be used to connect to a wide range of other things. I think, more than anything, connecting to Twitter or Evernote is "safe". Which is good for beginners.
