I don't agree that Twitter is a very low cost-to-switch environment. Its value only comes with scale - I think it would be difficult for non HN users of Twitter

I don't agree that Twitter is a very low cost-to-switch environment. Its value only comes with scale - I think it would be difficult for non HN users of Twitter to see enough value to make a switch, at least, not without something new or quite compelling...
- bobz 16y agoI suppose what I meant is that, unlike Apple, there's no cost for a user to start using a competitor. But I suppose switch isn't even really the right word here; there's no reason they even have to stop using Twitter. Basically, if something else did gain momentum, it could happen pretty fast. As opposed to an iPhone competitor, which Apple can see coming and make strategic moves to plug leaks.
