It is so clear to me the monetization path for twitter – it’s so obvious and clear as day… developer community. that is why they pulled back on Al3x’s epic tweet in my opinion. They really didn’t want to disrupt the rebuilding of trust in the developer community.

I think that MG should have done a better job not to use that tweet out of context knowing how much harm it would do to Twitters big developer event.. imo MG didn’t need to disrupt twitter for pageviews – that’s just me. MG hangs with those guys and turns out might have hurt his trust with them. If I was Twitter I’d be pissed.

Also the irony is that twitter is asking people to use their product in social media and yet they are restricting their own people of using their own product. Bizzare twist there.

I was at the recent Twitter API developers meetup at Twtter HQ and naturally the subject of *that* tweet came up.

Here’s a video I recorded showing the ‘official’ response to all this, explaining what was meant and what we can expect to come:
