@pg - I suspect politics might prevent you from answering, but do you have a view on whether this direction of Twitter's, is smart or beneficial to them in the long run?

They seem to be doing pretty well. They head-faked a lot of developers, but I don't think that was deliberate.

Yeah I'd agree with that.

Can't say either if this will have major repucussions in the future.

Users probably don't care about these issues and dev's will suck it up, because they still want the userbases.

That said, a social network can potentially become 'uncool', pretty quickly, especially if they piss on the influencers.
