I like to stir the pot. Often I make a mess. But sometimes I get soup. I write weekly about navigating the Information Age in my newsletter, The Narrative Intel: https://thenarrativeintel.intelligistgroup.com/

This is an excerpt from the post I wrote. It says: Let’s also consider exactly who are Twitter’s users. To a large extent I’m not a Twitter user. I have a Twitter account, but the bulk of my interactions with Twitter are through 3rd party applications like Hootsuite and Bufferapp. There is a healthy ecosystem of third party apps that have provided value, I would argue, beyond anything Twitter could have accomplished on their on. It’s this very ecosystem — what Phil Simon would call their platform — combined with it’s ease and simplicity that has fueled its growth and success.
