La cosa forse più curiosa che si evince dalla lettura del post è che parte dei problemi sono dovuti al fatto che sia cresciuto in una direzione imprevista dagli stessi creatori: essi prendono atto appunto che ora Twitter è fondamentalmente un sistema per inviare messaggi, mentre è stato ideato come un content management system, un sistema di gestione di contenuti.

- Twitter is, fundamentally, a messaging system. Twitter was not architected as a messaging system, however. For expediency's sake, Twitter was built with technologies and practices that are more appropriate to a content management system. Over the last year and a half we've tried to make our system behave like a messaging system as much as possible, but that's introduced a great deal of complexity and unpredictability.
- Our direction going forward is to replace our existing system, component-by-component, with parts that are designed from the ground up to meet the requirements that have emerged as Twitter has grown.
