How far removed they have become from the golden days where the api to post a tweet was just a HTTP POST with your username/password in the http basic auth header and the global timeline of all twitter users were on the frontpage and rss feeds everywhere. :-/
- Rjevski 9y agoThe irony is that such a simple platform would’ve only required a handful of engineers to maintain and would’ve been profitable from day 1 if they introduced promoted tweets. Instead now they have 3000 employees doing god knows what, an awful UX and the ads aren’t sufficient to sustain all that.
