“There’s only ONE Twitter,” Linda Yaccarino tweeted.
Competition always makes services and goods better for the people.
I think Twitter is tanking because of Twitter. Remains to be seen if Threads has any legs or if it will be the next Google+, Periscope, Meerkat, etc.
They should have just like, kept Google+ on life support. It could have had one hell of a second wind in the wake of these huge social media bungles
But someone already got promoted for that project, so why keep it around?
Side bar, but what are the verbs for when people put out a post on Threads or Mastadon?
On Mastadon it’s “toot”, because the mascot is an elephant. And elephants make a “toot” with their trunks.
I absolutely love how we get to be (and other platforms) in their reckoning.
This is excellent. It’s easier to engage with two smaller competitors than it is with one larger one. And maybe Zuck will get distracted and forget about us or something. lol Though I kinda doubt it…
We’re still not fully ready for primetime yet anyway though. Apps are still adding important functionality, we’ve got vulnerabilities, and world is slow as hell today and experiencing hiccups. Half the current userbase is still ironing out our understanding of the basics. So, don’t really mind if they do keep selling us short and not mentioning us. For now at least.
This is the end for Twitter.
