Objectively speaking, it is very difficult to get information in a timely manner from Twitter without a Twitter account. There is one account on Twitter I "follow" via RSS, however they are dropping support for this in a few months. I have many reasons for not getting a Twitter account; most of them personal reasons that are irrelevant to this discussion. However, it is difficult to call a company that refuses to even support RSS/Atom feeds "open". Speaking to Facebook, of which I am also not a member for personal reasons, it bothers me when organizations call their Facebook pages their "websites". In most cases, I cannot access additional information about these without being a member of Facebook. I have a hard time understanding how one would call this "open".
