I'm not saying that they can't do it just because Facebook already has, I'm more saying that they don't have to just because Facebook does. Otherwise, every move they make would be to become more like Facebook. And that isn't the desirable outcome. They are unique pieces of software to provide unique needs. Twitter wants to forge its own identity and create its own features, not point at every Facebook feature and say "Okay, how can we do that?".
- sw1205 16y agoSorry I misunderstood your point - you are right they don't have to. We don't want two sites doing the same thing. I think Twitter is doing a good job forging it's own identity, it is Facebook that seems to be borrowing ideas from everywhere else - Foursquare etc. I do think however that 'like' could be useful for Twitter and they could implement it in a different way. I take your point though.
