Former Apple engineer Patrick Gibson has joined Apple critics in sayingthat the company should buy Twitter due to poor understanding of
web-based services.
Other reasons for support of the proposed purchase have been that
Apple’s apps and services lack sociability, and that past attempts to
offer online services (such as Ping and Game Center) have been ineffective.
‘Google is getting better at design faster than Apple is getting better
at web services. I’m a diehard Apple fan [but] almost anything Apple
does which involves the internet is a mess’ said Gibson.
