I think this is reasonable. Twitter has been doing a lot of things that make it a much less attractive platform: Limiting the developer API in all sorts of unpleasant ways, poor attempts at integrating ads into the feed, and layout redesigns that are unpleasant to use.
Plus, there's the fact that it's a banal and mostly useless communication medium and an echo chamber. But I might be projecting on those last two.
- bduerst 12y agoI can at least understand the API limitations, even if I don't agree with them. They're trying to keep control over the user experience by not giving away too much functionality. When your offering is personalized RSS feeds with char limits, you have got to hold on to what you've got. I think the ultimate thing that could damn the company is that they won't adjust their functionality to keep up with various market trends (e.g. the way Facebook and Linkedin have).
