This isn't Photoshop or Clang, it's a glorified IM app.
So in my perspective (and similar but not exactly same experience), the problems of maintaining a social graph and recommendation engine at that scale would make Twitter significantly more complex than a standard instant messaging app, since all the data can’t be stored in a simple distributed k-v store. Even one of the developers at WhatsApp said so. Do you have a different experience?
