I wouldn't be surprised if it's still using the API. Anyone else think that this functionality should have been native and built in house? Just seems lazy to me

Regardless, it's a cool tool and I'm glad it's an official part of twitter now.
- riklomas 18y agoI think it was more to do with hiring the talent from Summize as well. From the TC article: "Twitter has also hired 5 of the 6 Summize employees."
- michaelbuckbee 18y agoSummize was getting a dedicated XMPP feed of the data prior to the acquisition. Search is it's own animal and whether it's "native" or not, it's more important that it works.
- ashleyw 18y agoMaybe, but why spend the time creating something if you can buy it, have one less competitor (wasn't it planning on using other services too?), and get some very talented engineers too? Normally, yes its lazy - but in cases like this its just the smart thing to do...
