Joining @twitterapi as a Developer Advocate

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.

  1. Wait, are you saying Annotations *DO* still exist?

    I.. oh.. date.. *sigh* You update so rarely it took me a whole day to receive this in my feed reader.

    That makes me sad.

  2. Annotations *do* still exist. I have then enabled on my account but I haven't used them in ages.

    Do you use Google Reader? Or something that is pubsubhubbub enabled? Those should be instant.
