7 Days notice with no details on alternatives. Nice one, twitter, I'm sure this won't drive anyone off the platform or anything.

Twitter is a train wreck. One week notice? No pricing information? No details on how to sign up or migrate to this? No confidence that this won't cause service disruptions? No blog post on their engineering blog with details?
