- cookiecaper 10y agoTwitter dying is a huge opportunity, they've certainly proven the demand for it. It's a surprise there aren't thousands of VC-backed wannabes popping up already. Would be really interested if FB or Google bought them out and sought to integrate.
- daveguy 10y agoAt the same time they proved demand they also proved difficulty in monetization. Even if you have better execution there is the large network effect for acquiring/maintaining users.
- codingdave 10y agoThey have proven sizable, but finite demand. And they have proven that even being as popular as they are, making it work as a business is tricky. It makes very little sense to invest in disrupting a niche where the #1 player has not found financial success.
- gazarullz 10y agoTwitter is far from dying given the restructuring and the current pile of VC cash it's sitting on atm.
