The deal is done; Twitter has acquired Summize and most of its employees. I would say this is the perfect move by Twitter. Most important thing that twitter was lacking (other than stability) was a search functionality and Summize will fill the gap.
Now only thing that twitter needs to do is provide a search API which is as simple as twitter’s API. I think that’s the motive of Evan in keeping the employees. As soon as API will be out there will be many clients which will provide options like tagging and channels. By integrating search and not mot making it complex what twitter has done is maintained its simplicity and provided a way in which almost everything is possible. I would say for developers who write clients for twitter only their imagination will be the barrier, possibilities are endless.
