Are group DMs supported through the API for third-party clients? The direct capture and upload has been sorely needed, should make on-the-ground reporting much easier.
Curious how this will affect their service.
A long, long time ago, email was invented. Then soon enough, someone created email lists (groups). No one has invented anything new in this regard, since then.
Its a pity you're getting downvoted for insight. One problem twitter has is lack of innovation. Then again they have users who are self selected to be used to it, or are even happy with that. Kind of the AOL of the modern era, if you think of AOL culturally in the 90s, twitter is in the same spot today. There is also a lack of purpose, lack of elevator pitch. By that I mean I don't know what twitter is for. Originall…
In particular I think it is a great tool for startups, as:
- We recruited most of our alpha/beta users over Twitter
- Our testimonials page is full of Tweets like this:

- We're still monitoring for support and issues people have and jumping in to help (which people seem to really like).

I don't like having private conversations on twitter for some reason, I guess having it is better than not but it's hard to feel excited about it. On the bright side I think this could be very useful for networking between famous people.
Welcome to twitter.
With the speed they are shipping updates for the official mac app it should be possible to use the group messaging in about 2 years.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

You are correct, and thank you for the support of the comment above. WRT Twitter=RSS, I cannot lament enough the fact that RSS has been treated like an abandoned child, only because there is Twitter. WRT AOL, well, there's also Facebook, which is a de facto Internet today (rightly or wrongly, that's a sad debate).
Combining tweets about [subject of choice] inline with your favourite subreddits and websites, all filterable and searchable (with the right client) was a brilliant innovation.
This sentence grossed me out: "The Twitter you experience today is rich and immersive, full of images, gifs, Vines, audio files and videos from some of the world’s most recognizable figures and brands."
So the blog post's target audience seems to be their own users (you experience/use), but spoken in advertiser-speak. It's a not so subtle reminder that the user is the product.
