well said and encouraging

from Mike Lee's blog

Craig and I have different visions for our respective applications. If we had the same vision, we’d work together. As it stands, Craig is trying to build the best iPhone Twitter client, and doing a hell of a job. I have different plans for Twinkle, which go a lot further than Twitter. When a user choses between these two apps. It’s not a matter of right versus wrong, or which app is better. Rather, they will choose the app whose vision best matches their own.

Competition does exist in our market, but it’s mainly perpetrated by visionless hacks who see money in an app and try to recreate someone else’s work in an attempt to cash in. These people aren’t really part of the community, and frankly, I’d like to see it stay this way.

well said, and lots of encouragement for myself trying to find a place inside that community
