But playing along with your query, which is just as valid as his... I would think that one way for Twitter to grow their ecosystem is to get other people to help them grow it and if they play their cards right they can not only have devs do it but their competitors can too (and of course they don't *want* to). I was talking to a friend at Google the other day (yes I have some, believe it or not) and said they're now where MS was, where general growth in tech means growth for Google. They'll get their 20 percent no matter what they do. They could just become an investment banker, they hardly have to work to grow. Twitter may get there too, but they have a long long way to go. And they sure have challenges, Marc... Yesterday Scoble presented me with a very straightforward problem which the Twitter API should have been able to solve, but couldn't. Their ace in the hole, the API, isn't finished yet. (He wanted to be able to create a new account that would follow all the same people his original account was following.) Then another one came up, wanting a button in FlickrFan to set the background of my Twitter page. What a great idea! But the Twitter API doesn't enable it. Arrrgh. I'd better save this before Firefox crashes. (Again.) Marquis, I was just playing the game with Mr. Stern for fun.
