#2With the speed they are shipping updates for the official mac app it should be possible to use the group messaging in about 2 years.

#3Are 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.

#4A 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.

You're being over-optimistic

#6And yet still the worst photo sharing experience of any social platform. 5mb upload limit, constant upload failures with cryptic error messages, and clicking an image only to see a smaller version aren't a great experience.
I'm skeptical of what they'll do with video.
edit: lack of retina support for images is also inexcusable.

#7So now when your friend's account gets hacked it can be way more annoying? Because that's seriously all my DMs ever are.

#8This 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."

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. Originally, right after I found out about it WRT SXSW, its the AOL-ified IRC on top of SMS text messages. Then it morphed into brand spam delivery for AOL users who can't figure out RSS from either the spammer or recipient side, be sure to follow our corporate PR dept because... well just because. Now its apparently going to be the AOL of photo sharing for those too confused by the complexities of facebook photo sharing and snapchat. But what is it, assuming my joke about them being the AOL of 2015 isn't just a joke (or ... is it?)

Then you'll absolutely love their "strategy statement".
