Twitter’s Ryan Sarver Calms Developers, Leaves Callback #

Making big moves in the Twitter ecosystem is a good way to spread some FUD if not properly explained. That’s why I’m really happy that Ryan Sarver posted this message on the Twitter Development Talk Google group. Of course it’s much better to prep the development community before making any wild swinging motions, but better late than never.
But I did want to point out one very big statement Sarver makes when describing the previous description of the new Blackberry client:
We will also admit our mistakes when they are made and the Blackberry client should never have been labeled “official”. It has since been changed and you won’t see that language used with Twitter clients in the future.
(Ryan Sarver)
NO official Twitter clients, ever? Now, it’s entirely possible that there could be an official Twitter client that is never called the official Twitter client. Maybe we’ll just have to wait and see on this one.
But one thing that really caught my eye (maybe he does this all the time, I don’t know) is that he left a phone number where you can reach him. In case you missed it, it’s 617-763-9904. This must be a temporary throwaway number; I can’t imagine how useful a phone number is when you give it out to hundreds of thousands of developers. But still a nice touch! I’m trying to think of an original enough question to warrant a phone call.
