I'm pretty sure hashtags were invented because there WAS no twitter search.

Oh, also no twitter images or videos! haha!! Twitpic came about and eventually #BirdSite bought them, IIRC.

Also, man, really wide open APIs. I miss those days. I never used them directly, but I benefited from them in many ways.

@RL_Dane @bastianallgeier You could get an API feed of the whole platform. Everything everyone posted.

YES! And for a totally open platform, that was ok!

Now everything is so locked down, even bibliogram (instagram front-end alternative) had to shut down and quit development. Ugh :(

I loathe the modern web.
