On this nice sunny day I'm happy to announce that I will be joining the Twitter Platform team as a Developer Advocate. This is especially exciting for me as I have been thinking about developer communities a lot recently and can now officially start implementing some of my Unicorn Theories.
I will also be acting as a voice representing the third-party community within the company and will be looking into pushing a few projects out the door. High on my priority list are: open sourcing Twitter for Android, increasing rate limits to 1500 requests/hour, launching a cleaner, simpler version 2 of the API, and opening Annotations to a wider audience.
As I start implementing Unicorn Metrics I will be keeping a birds eye out for potential additions to the advocate team. If you are interested solving hard problems be sure to check out #jointheflock. All new employees get an awesome Twitter shirt!
Stay tuned for news on Chirp 2 (Trust me! You are going to love it!), and be sure to to enjoy this beautiful April day.
