"Good Designers Copy, Great Designers Steal." Saying that Twitter and FourSquare were "Zucked" is a bit much. Great companies do this all the time.

- code_duck 16y agoCompanies that I strongly dislike do that all the time. They sometimes end up great in terms of earning potential, but rarely are they the ones that I respect or admire.
- redcap 16y agoI disagree, great designers innovate. You build on the shoulders of those who came before, but if you're not doing something new and innovative, it's not great. The biggest example I have is Apple.
- fleaflicker 16y agoWas the original facebook an innovative myspace/friendster? We're reacting negatively to Facebook infringing on foursquare's turf because facebook is the bigger company. Like Microsoft was ten years ago. What about bing? Now that Microsoft is the underdog they're a lot more palatable.
