My expectation is that we're going to move away from the hard link between data and UI some day.

Services will simply offer their data with an API (and micro-transactions to use it), and then 3rd parties will create UI's for each interface.

Tweets are a useful data type, but there's nothing about twitter's brand UI that is necessary.

Why would any company give up their data and brand awareness? Twitter exists to sell advertising -- their brand UI is 100% necessary. More necessary than the data itself.
