But the founder of a Twitter-based startup told us Fred’s message is loud and clear. This source heard, “[Twitter is] going to do mobile apps and URLs. [Twitter is] way playing down the role of other apps. [Twitter] desperately need somebody to do vertical/gaming stuff, since that’s what we aren’t going to do ourselves. Bit.ly (as a URL shortener), TwitPic (as a photo uploader) and Tweetie (as an iPhone app) are now considered ‘core’ to the platform. They will either be bought or competed with.”

Twitters største trussel er å bli en kommunikasjonsprotokoll a la SMS. Nå tar de grep for å utvikle en forretningsmodell. Og for å oppnå det må de ha større kontroll med produktet…
…men samtidig kaster de “glør i øynene” på sitt eget økosystem av uavhengige apps-produsenter..
