You know who did open source their UI elements? Twitter, with Bootstrap. And you know how awesome that was for everyone? Pretty awesome!

While I agree that Bootstrap is awesome (I use it myself), it's worth pointing out that what Twitter open sourced was not the magic of their core product, but rather the templates that they use to create internal applications. If you look at twitter.com, you don't see any of the same elements that are included in Bootstrap.
You mean besides all their UI widgets, right?
