User Experience

Changing how basic functions work or adding complexitymight threaten the loyal users and could find them movingto other services

Stability and availability of the service have beenproblems in the past, these cannot be sacrificed (now thatthey are much better!)

Twitter should maintain it's relatively spam-free status--pushing unsolicited content would be bad

The value for most people isn't in commercial uses for Twitter, the value is in social uses--commerce is justmoving to where the conversation is
