Twitter woos developers back with an app platform

Twitter has a novel idea as to how to win back developer trust: It’s going to allow them to build on the platform itself, then promote their tools and services directly to users on Twitter at key moments.
The company today is launching an experiment that may be one of the more significant efforts in recent years — beyond the launch of the rebuilt Twitter API, of course — aimed at demonstrating its intent to collaborate with developers and be more responsive to their needs. With the new test, Twitter says it will promote select developers’ apps directly on its platform at the moment they may be useful to the end user.
