You are of course free to ask Massimo or anyone to add the Twitter feed to the "examples" app. If they don't get around to it, though, then that leaves you to do it, even if it takes you many times longer than it would have taken someone else. We can't expect Massimo to do everything just because he can do it faster than most others. I bet in the amount of time you have spent discussing this topic here you probably could have managed it yourself. You might even learn something in the process, making you faster on the next task -- that's how people go from being novice to expert.

If you're not interested, why should anyone else be? For further reading, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage.
