That's why I wrote ‘Twitter Should Be A Public Utility’ http://blog.higg.im/2015/06/12/on-twitter/ For me the disconnect was that Twitter failed and partially succeeded in making Twitter what I call 'plumbing', or a sort of duct tape for the web. If microblogging had a stack similar to TCP/IP that could be fundamental to how the web operates, then they missed that boat repeatedly.
