What's this thing with the absolute wish to centralise everything?
The Internet is decentralisation, it's birth is interconnecting networks, having one massive network being just not scaleable.
The web is a decentralise content system, allowing anybody to add content easily is the reason it scaled. Same goes for the domain name system.
Companies like Twitter HAVE to decentralise their system in some ways to make it scale, because centralisation does not scale (using CDNs, caches, replication, etc...).
Centralisation do makes seems much simpler to build, but it's not a strength, it's a big weakness and create single points of failure.
