I think it's great that Twitter is finally being more transparent about all this. I could argue they need to be more transparent (where do they plan to go in the analytics and enterprise spaces?), but it's about time. They've finally drawn the line in the sand - now we need to adapt. Yes, it's frustrating, but then again, 90% of businesses fail - it's the risk all of us took. We either compete, or quit, and move on. I don't get all the complaints - this is nothing new. I've had half my features replaced by Twitter over the last few years (quite literally - just read my blog - I'm the chief complainer). By now I realize that's either part of life (note: it's the same on Facebook, too - there's no escaping it), or I change my focus to where Twitter is not my core and I instead use Twitter to strengthen my new core. That's where Twitter (and Fred Thompson) have made it clear they want us to go. Finally, some clarity. I'm appreciative of it, regardless of how frustrating it can be. Time for all of us to take this constructively and adapt.
