Williams says that he’d like Twitter users to be able to tap into Facebook to make their experience better. And he said he understands their position in that they see their social graph as their core asset. But he clearly doesn’t think it’s the right idea to block them. Facebook’s reason is that they like to have formal relationships in place for deals with large companies. It’s the same reason they blocked Apple’s Ping service.
“We’re talking to them often”to see if there’s a way to work together,” Williams said of Twitter. “So far, neither side has figured out a way to do that other than what we’re already doing,” he continued.
Yep. It’s complicated.
