That "just the search box" thing would not go anywhere without that algorithm. I guess the "search box only" design decision was a kind of thing that happened to ARM: its' founder said that ARM was able to give its' chip developers the thing that neither Intel nor IBM was able to give - the absence of money.

"Limit on the post size" was not arbitrary, it was a technical limitation - Twitter was created as "a social network, but for SMS". SMS was a well-known technology back then. As for "this funny algorithm", in context of the dialogue 'endisneigh posted, the algorithm is just an input. "Hey, AI, use that thing as a ranking function". The "extrapolative" work would be the invention of the algorithm itself.
