Eugen Rochko was annoyed with Twitter. The company had made a series of changes that he thought eroded the value of the service: limiting how big third-party applications could grow, for example, and implementing an algorithm-driven timeline that made Twitter feel uncomfortably similar to Facebook. Most people in Rochko’s situation fired off an angry tweet or two and moved on. Rochko set about rebuilding Twitter from scratch.

This sounds very intriguing to me. I admit, I never did get incredibly active on twitter and it for the most part isn't really my thing. But this may be something fun to check out anyhow. :)
Thank you for bringing it to my attention @Spawn . :D
