i get the impression that this is more of a talent acquisition. i doubt twitter cares about the product all that much.


No kidding, Sam’s a very talented guy. I was hanging around the Groovy project back in 2005, I think, before he became Yahoo CTO. You could really tell what a smart guy Sam was and his ideas and critiques were always balanced. So I’m sure this is yet another blessing for Twitter.


I'm with you on that, but the concept is a good one albeit not widely adopted. I've only created on bag, but I still peek in there now and again to see what other people are putting together. It's niche, but still a good, simple starting point if Twitter wants to get into eCommerce. That being said, Luke is a talent no matter where he goes and hopefully he'll bring about some good UX to the poorly-designed Twitter front end.

So I guess we won't be getting a great, Luke-designed interface at Twitter. It's all in the API, guys, it's all in the API.
