             The power of sound: An opera singer, challenged to shatter a wine glass with his voice, placed the glass on the mantlepiece and, standing about a foot away, began to sing louder and louder. The glass began to vibrate, then shattered! The singer was Jussi Björling.

             So, we heard X had a new, even-more-expensive API offering...🤦🏻 The Fediverse makes it free for anyone to build, using standards such as ActivityPub. The Mastodon API is completely free, no "pay-per-use" here. Come build better things with us, for a better social web 🧑🏻💻 
           Announcing our beta launch: X API pay-per-use model. We are expanding a closed beta to both new & power users who want to ship amazing apps on X. All selected users will receive a $500 voucher to build with the X API. 🤑💻🚀
