On Thursday, Donald Trump will walk into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, shake Xi Jinping's hand, and declare it a great meeting. There will be announcements. There will be numbers — billions of dollars in Chinese purchase commitments, a new bilateral mechanism with an important-sounding name, possibly a joint statement on Iran. Trump will post on Truth Social. Markets will rally briefly. Pundits will argue about who won. None of that will tell you what actually happened.

Twitter has announced that 50,000 Apps have been buil;t around it's micro-blogging service over the past two years.

Communication: "we need to be out there and let our developers know what's going on"
Utility: "we need to keep providing our robust APIs and enable third-party developers to thrive"
Profitability: "when our partners succeed, we succeed" (more details coming early 2010)
It's rare that a service would be so dependent and opened to third-party developers and Twitter now says it will open up even more.
The third announcement was that Twitter was putting even more emphasis on OAuth, the remote login technology, and will encourage developers to use it by increasing the API calls limit 10 times.
