I want to see what someone is tweeting -> go to a site that isn't Twitter is not really the response that sparks joy. They're really risking the network effect with this round of mad strategy. If people can't read tweets there is a massive gap for competitors to move in to. Although I do enjoy the sublime wonder of how between Twitter and the Twitter clones everyone in this space has concluded that to display a 280 character text message they require somewhere between a full Javascript web app or that and an account. It is a pity that HTML is not up to the challenge of these hard times.
