In my opinion that's not more important. Also because they contains almost no information.

More importantly to who? To me and all developers that I know, this isn't the most important. A good and reliable API is.

More important to everyone but developers?

Or even developers if you like data.

> More importantly twitter profiles are public by default. That's not true for most social media.

Maybe, but now logged-out users (or users without an account) cannot see more than the last few tweets on an account.

Twitter is a lot less open than it was two or three years ago, and while it's more public-by-default than Facebook, it's less public-by-default than Blogger was.

Wait, what? I don't have a Twitter account, but still follow several people's Twitter feeds. I've never had a problem seeing their full timeline.

Maybe they've changed it, or maybe it's for certain accounts, but I've definitely seen "Log in to view more" when scrolling down.

I've never had a Twitter account, and I've never seen that.

Maybe scroll down a bit further?

I've gone back months/years on some accounts, on some lazy days. Maybe it's a desktop/mobile client thing; I'm not a twitter user, so I don't use twitter on my phone.

I'm able to view mobile.twitter.com/joshtpm in desktop Safari, and without an account view at least his previous week's posts not logged in.
