That RFS was put up in a time when access to twitter's data was for the most part unregulated and when developers felt encouraged to develop on twitter's platform. No one was really sure what the long term implications were of building on their platform, but there were companies that got acquired and raised capital (eg summize, tweetdeck), so money was flowing. It was basically a bet for twitter becoming The Next Social Platform, sort of like what Facebook became.

So the questions remain: Does PG still feel that building a startup on top of Twitter to be a good strategy? What insights does PG have as to Twitter's dedication to helping startups?
