I’m glad Twitter is changing things up. Technically this means doubling everything (database, cache, etc) which I imagine was an undertaking. But... Is this really what’s preventing Twitter from growing? I don’t think so. I use twitter for both personal and company reasons and I can see how it’d help the latter. I don’t see how it helps the former. To me, the whole purpose of the feed is to get the “gist”. 280 characters is wayyy more than that. I wish they spent their efforts on improving/building useful things (including better targeting for ads) or bring back the tweet counts. So congrats, but to me it’s a sign things aren’t chirping anymore.
