Comment on Burned by Twitter, Developers Launch Distributed Microblogging Serviceparent

Comments

It's clear what twitter is: it's a website, it's a SMS service for phones, messaging, service, etc.

There is plenty of vertical development that can be done by third parties, no need to focus on creating your own client.

In programming, twitter is like the IE mini-browser control you can drop into a window and create your own 'custom' browser. Clients like that aren't needed. Instead use the data in a new way, or provide a new data stream by tracking something in real life.
