Why would I want to use Twitter as the umpteenth video calling service on my phone?
Has a social media company ever been successful in copying the best or key features from other networks?
- nullish_signal 4y agoSkype used to be pretty popular Now Zoom is the de-facto video-call app for some reason? TikTok successfully took over after Vine shut down (with YouTube successfully copying TikTok woth YouTube shorts) And every mobile app ever added "face filters" to add cute dog ears and fake glasses, probably double-dipping with all of the facial-geometry data their users are providing free-of-charge
- racked 4y agoAt least from where I'm looking, working mostly with Europeans, Skype is still pretty popular. Sometimes replaced by Google Meet for meetings with transient acquaintances. Skype's not as buttery smooth as Telegram, but it sure is a more polished, stable-feeling piece of software than Zoom.
