A representative for Twitter declined to comment on the cancellation’s cause. Just two weeks ago, invites for reporters to sign up for Chirp were sent out. At the time, a Twitter representative said, “Chirp is the first time we will bring our developer community from all over the world together in person to preview some new tools, discuss feedback, and celebrate the developers who are making it easier for users on Twitter to discover content, have safer conversations, and impact the greater good.”

Despite being unexpected, the cancellation is not all that startling in light of Musk’s recent acquisition of the business. He has promised to fundamentally alter the company’s subscription business in addition to shaking up its leadership,

A further indication of the internal turmoil at Twitter is the cancellation of the Chirp developer conference, which was set to take place on November 16 just two weeks earlier. Developers and other guests were informed in a brief note from the corporation, which gave no explanation for the cancellation. The letter states that the Twitter team is working diligently to improve the service for all users, especially developers. We’ve made the decision to postpone our #Chirp Developer Conference while we are hard at work on some exciting new items for you.

Content moderation and other policies are probably going to change as a result of Twitter Blue. If he has a different vision for Twitter’s developer strategy as well, that wouldn’t be surprising. But the cancellation will probably come as a disappointment to Twitter’s developers. The corporation has a troubled history with developers, but it has recently made an effort to modernise it with new APIs for researchers and third-party apps. The Chirp developer conference planned to be Twitter’s first in-person gathering since 2015. The future of Twitter’s plans for developers is still uncertain, just like many other areas of the firm under Musk.
