They are certainly a direct competitor to Instapaper
now. But it didn’t catch me by surprise, and I hope
to still remain friendly with them.
This is a very big and increasingly crowded market,
and there’s no reason why we can’t respectfully
share it.
Those are inspiring words, which I will keep in mind. It is a very healthy approach toward competition and competitors, and I would rather adapt this one instead of "we shall smash our competitors to death" which is more in common (see all recent patent suites for instance)
- davidu 15y agoIt's not how things usually work out. Cisco and Juniper aren't friendly competitors. They are each trying as hard as possible to destroy the other. And the employees at each company feel the same. Less so at Cisco because they are so much larger, but at Juniper, they are absolutely focused on "kill Cisco."
