My guess is that Rupert Murdoch didn't think Twitter was a problem.
Possibly because its feeds are not filtered and it doesn't scrape content in any form. It's also short form so you're not going to get a more than a brief summary of a news story and most likely a link.
- nindalf 6y agoIt's feeds aren't filtered? That's not true. And it's besides the point. Murdoch didn't shakedown Facebook because Facebook's feed is filtered. He decided to do so because advertisers moved from his properties to Facebook/Google and he wants that revenue back. Kinda like ocean liners wanting a cut of airlines' profits. Murdoch didn't think bother with Twitter because Twitter's profits are slim.
