Nail on head for me: ". . . Twitter Platform primarily serves Twitter’s interests, in stark contrast to the era of API growth . . ." and his rueful close in "I believe that Twitter as a medium is and should be distinct from Twitter as a business." Twitter got to where they are based on open standards, dev empowerment, etc. Thanks to their money in the bank and lack of need for a biz model they had ample time to own it, be the standard, become the medium - what is a Twitter exactly if not a Twitter? Going to be very interesting to see where this next step takes them.
