- OJFord 11y agoWell, I guess that's true in a way. Many could certainly clone the Twitter service in under a weekend, and since nobody would be using it, it would certainly appear they did a good job. What you couldn't do in a weekend is provide something to operate at the scale Twitter does, such that it could be dropped in to replace (or handle all the traffic if Twitter ceased to exist).
- tomp 11y agoWhatever value Twitter has, the majority of it definitely isn't in its technical implementation.
- odbol 11y agoEspecially if they need thousands of people to maintain it, when WhatsApp needs 50 employees even though they process an order of magnitude more messages.
