I use Twitter, but I find myself increasingly uncomfortable with it.
There's no revenue stream for Twitter, except for hitting up investors. Those investors expect a return. What is Twitter going to do to try to pay them back? Targeted ads (cool)? Detailed user demographics (not cool)?
Why try to kick the feet out from under the people actually building an ecosystem around their product? I can understand trying to keep a clear separation between Twitter and that ecosystem for branding purposes, but I think this goes beyond that need.
