"We asked technology journalist Robert Scoble what he thought of the dilemma and his opinion was pretty clear. "If Twitter wants to be a platform they have to behave like a platform," he said. "Don't be king-makers, let the marketplace choose the winners. If they are going to say nobody should study the data because we're going to sell that, that's not being a platform. Twitter tries to pick the winners and it pisses me off. They admit that they are king-makers. All that does is make everyone vote against them and hope a competitor comes around."
