This comes with the territory of having a fledging social network - it's not "terrible" if it's good enough for users. You grow from there by encouraging some niche communities to congregate using your system, that's how true "engagement" can start. Even Facebook itself grew from a very small community, namely students at a particular college, then college students more generally.
- nl 8y agoYes, and indeed they tried this (especially on Plus, around photography). The problem was that the product was working as designed - it was the importing of external feed that was both the key feature and the problem. It might have worked if two-way-comment feeds were a thing. But there is no reason why Twitter would want to implement that.
