On their blog, Twitter revealed their goal of their Hello World developer tour where they believe that “The next great app can come from anywhere and watching the developer community’s passion and commitment to help one another is both heartwarming and inspiring.” They also believe that “emerging developer communities are the future of the app developer landscape.”
