Twitter’s Target

I started using Twitter in mid 2006, so I’m a little biased… but I still have many expectations and hopes for the platform that I don’t for Facebook, Instagram etc. Twitter stands(or, it could if it were to become developer friendly again) at the fulcrum point between traditional social networks and the future of online …
