Twitter wins rights to stream NFL Thursday night games
- padobson 11y agoYahoo!, one of the original pillars of Internet media, is being carved up right now. So it seems fitting that Twitter, one of the pillars of social media, is trying to adopt their business model: try everything, specialize at nothing. At the same time, I like the idea of non-traditional television providers gaining access to live sports - just one more nail in the coffin of multi-channel television. That said, I can't help but think Amazon or Netflix was better position to provide the best experience for this.
- samsolomon 11y agoSports is one of the last hooks keeping people from ditching cable television. I imagine if we see more deals like this one—especially with the NFL—the number of cable cutters will continue to accelerate.
