Who, pray tell, would these people be? Because that's a ludicrous assertion.
I'll argue by analogy here: I don't know anyone who uses Instagram. Everyone I know uses Facebook. Instagram was making zero dollars. Facebook is generating cash in the billions. Instagram has 30MM users. Facebook is approaching a billion.
Instagram has some strategic value to Facebook, obviously. But I don't know how anyone can claim that these companies are competitors.

Well, I would guess the 'hip' people who write for the startup blogs (i.e., Pando, TechCrunch, RWW, etc.) think so, but I think among normal people, we would agree that was a ludicrous assertion.
