It's interesting how two veery big services came from the idea of setting up a real-time status.
Early Twitter as I remember was that when you post the status your followers would get an SMS notification with the status.
Jack mentions that here of a real-time status and also the same for WhatsApp. Where WhatsApp inventors thought about a way to set up a real-time status.
But they pivoted to something different. Only that Twitter is still more close to the original idea.

- pests 7y agoI think? There was a time fb forced a "pests is... " format for updates and I very distinctly remember them removing it to better match some other service of the time. I thought Twitter but maybe Myspace, it's been so long.
