Twitter to hold its second-ever developer conference in October

Twitter will be flapping into Flight, its second-ever mobile developer conference (following the one-time Chirp conference it held in 2010) on October 22.

The social media company is welcoming developers from all over to its San Francisco event to "help you build the best mobile apps."

Not the smoothest move leading off with an egotistical mission statement like that.

The day's activities will include a keynote by Twitter CEO **** Costolo. As with most developer conferences, from Apple's WWDC to Facebook F8 we expect to see a sprinkling of new Twitter features.

However, much of the conference will include "technical sessions," where developers will have dense discussions about programming in Java, Objective-C and Swift.

To prime the developer community before the October conference, Twitter has also overhauled its developer site, making it easier for users to navigate and find answers. Twitter also noted there would be a lot more features coming to the developer site over the coming weeks.

What the heck are you doing Twitter?

In the last year Twitter has been in a tumultuous period of change, readjusting the fundamental way its social network acts.

Earlier this May, Twitter introduced a feature for users to mute an obnoxious tweeter without unfollowing them. Then the company decided to mess with social feeds yet again in August by promoting popular tweets you've favorited to all your followers.

Just last week Twitter also killed its 3rd party Twitpic image-hosting partner in favor of its own photo sharing service.

It seems high time that Twitter should hold an event of some sort where it can discuss its future plans at length rather than rolling experiments and small tweaks, which taken as a whole, have been universally annoying.
