I know the title was a bit tricky, but this is about a quick video which walk through the Twitter development history from April 2006 to January 2010 made by a twitter development team member Ben Sandofsky. The video was made using Code Swarm Software (an open source code available here) to cleanly visualize the development history of twitter with the people who were involved in the development of twitter from the day 1 to the present day. It also shows the frequency of languages and type of scripts used. The projects include the main Ruby app, Flock, the streaming API, and mobile site.
