Twitter would have to decentralize their system to court developers again. That means creating a protocol and an open source server that implements the protocol.
Twitter is basically an inverted email system anyway. So there is no technical reason why it can't be structured more like email. They could make money like google does with gmail, but as a user I could sign up with any provider or even host my own server.
Then it might get interesting. To me the only thing twitter has of value is mind share ("tweet", "follow", etc...) and this approach is the only way they can leverage it to profit in the long run.
