Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, speaking at the Twitter Flight conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, apologized for the company’s subpar relationship with developers and stressed the need for an open dialog.
Developers have led the way in innovating with Twitter, Dorsey said. “Developers took our service from day 1 and made Twitter [have] a much more global reach.” He cited applications that enable a plant that tweets when it wants water and a pothole that tweets to local officials when a vehicle runs over it.
“But somewhere along the line, our relationship with developers got a little complicated, a little bit confusing, a little bit unpredictable,” he said. “This culminated in what Anil Dash has named ‘The Matrix of Doom.’ And we want to come to you today [and] first and foremost apologize for our confusion. We want to reset our relationship, and we want to make sure that we are learning, that we are listening and we are rebooting. And that’s what today represents."
