I completely agree. Twitter was never really a technology company to me considering it was essentially just a mimic of a wrapper around an email list.

  Any company that operates at web scale is a technology company. Besides that look at their opensource contributions. Twitter has/had some impressive engineering talent.

    But is it "has" or is it already "had"?

    Try duplicating Google algorithms compared to Twitters wrappers and other functionality that can be easily duplicated.
