>Were there 100 different Twitter-like companies, and enough compatibility so that all their feeds could merge into one interface, this attack wouldn't have been such a big deal. That has its own security downsides. Now attackers don't need to find vulnerabilities in 1 specific company, they can search across 100 different companies. And each one has much less revenue so a much smaller security team.
