Twitter is another instance where a company destroys the one thing (service, product) they do well by attempting to do all other things at the same time. They end up creating a diluted, mediocre thing that everyone just dislikes equally. Horizontal expansion at the cost of vertical depth.

This is a perfect analogy.
I used to really like Twitter. But every change they do to the mobile app (or to the service in general) is just polluting the experience of what was once a pretty well controlled stream.
I can't find the group of people I like to follow (developers) anywhere else, so I haven't given up on the service yet. The content is mostly still there. But the friction, and the amount of noise, is increasing drastically.
