My plan for Twitter
Now that Dick Costolo stepped down, everybody has a plan for Twitter. So why should you read mine? Because it’s simple and effective. We (developers) made Twitter was it is because of its APIs. Remember when 80% of iOS demo apps were a Twitter client? Yes, that was PR, for free. Now Twitter does not need PR anymore but it needs tools so that people can use it in a meaningful way.
Costolo on mobile SDKs
The mobile SDK landscape has been inhabited by parties that optimize for self-interest first, and your interest second I have found this quote only in this post on ReadWrite. I can’t believe that Dick Costolo already forgot how Twitter treated developers a few years ago. I hope it’s a joke. Costolo may have a short memory, but developers hardly forget.
