It's gut wrenching to see whats going on over at Twitter. I've got friends who work there, friends who are no longer there, and there's nothing I can do to help other than offer a supporting ear or share any opportunities that I find with them.
When I wrote about some of my journey to where I am today, a large part of the path that I took, I took with Twitter. The opportunity to connect with nearly anyone and also find a place for my own voice was one of the reasons why I got to work on what I work on now. I made a lot of friends. I connected with people that I would never have met if it wasn't for Twitter. People helped me, and I hope I got to support and raise people up.
The people on Twitter made Twitter what it is, and it's changing in a way that I don't like and I have no ability to influence. On reflection it changed constantly over the years, slowly it seemed, but now it's all of a sudden.
Since the earliest times on the site we all wondered at how it would actually make money and survive, and we are asking that more than ever.
I supported it with content. I didn't pay for it. It doesn't owe me anything, but I feel that I owe it and the community a lot.
