Unfortunately, Twitter's user facing technology has been declining in quality. It's too bad because I like twitter a lot. I can report the following issues: 1) many links to deep inside twitter (eg: user's feed or a particular tweet) will actually bring me to my twitter home page. 2) android app destroys the battery. This is true of many social media apps, but unlike facebook, twitter's mobile web app is barely usable. It keeps insisting that I get the native app and it's extremely clunky and slow. Also, many features aren't there, particularly twitter search. Back when they were more open with their api and there were alternative clients it was a better experience. I know none of this has anything to do with their lack of a business model. Also, I don't want to discount their contributions with bootstrap and the big data stuff they've done. Hopefully they won't end up like Yahoo.
