From Noah Smith (@Noahpinion@twitter.com): """ Because this platform [Twitter] no longer shows news headlines, today I found myself searching Google News instead of searching Twitter for news about breaking events, for the first time in many years. Every other change to the platform so far has been cosmetic, but the removal of headlines [from OpenGraph cards] disabled a core functionality. Twitter was always a news feed; now it's just a series of images and seemingly random comments. This opens the door for real Twitter-disrupter to emerge -- not a Twitter clone, but some thing that gets people posting breaking news that's more targeted and relevant than Google News. Whoever figures out how to do that will make a lot of money. """ """
