Some thoughts on incumbents
- skmurphy 16y agoInteresting perspective on twitter as an incumbent in this paragraph: Incumbents that don’t yet have a successful business model (e.g. Twitter) might *think* they have a strategy, but expect it to change as they figure out their business model. An incumbent without a successful business model is like a drunk person firing an Uzi around the room.
- Swizec 16y agoCdixon doesn't go quite this far, but I think he's suggestively wagging his eyebrows at the notion that "If you're using their API, they're an incumbent" This notion changes things dramatically for smallish young startups and personal projects.
