I was reading through the Twitter dev mailing list, and found this poignant observation from a poster:
The most telling change in the Terms of Service occurred in sentence
#2 or paragraph #1 under section Rules of the Road.
It used to read: "We want to empower our ecosystem partners to build
valuable BUSINESSES around the information flowing through Twitter."
It now (since March 11, 2011) reads: "We want to empower our ecosystem
partners to build valuable TOOLS around the information flowing
through Twitter."

- runjake 16y agoIt's not so much poignant (or any such emotional response) as it is interesting. And it doesn't really strike me as interesting either. It just seems like a rewording to be more inclusive. To me, "businesses" imply "people that make money", "tools" implies "people that make money, produce public services, etc".
