Really?

Well, at least in germany that's patently false. Twitter asks for a phone number, but there's a skip link below the form. Could be a little more visible, but it works.
And also one phone number seems to be allowed to be tied to one Twitter account. (Last time I tried). Sucks if I want to make some twitter bots to do a service / data stream, or set up a Twitter account for an organization...

I mean, really? Do you have to give them your phone to get an account?

So much for growth.
