Eh, maybe. Twitter got started after Facebook, but I don't remember seeing Twitter talking about Facebook.

- malandrew 14y agoThat's because Twitter didn't know what they were or were trying to become. They probably didn't see themselves as a competitor to Facebook, but as a complement.
- pyre 14y agoFacebook didn't try to become Twitter-like until later on, when Twitter was already becoming popular, IIRC. It was more of a "Twitter is social-network-ish, maybe we should incorporate Twitter-like features into our product."
- gojomo 14y agoWhy would Twitter's communications strategy be a normative baseline? (And especially for App.net?) Lots of successes have been marketed as a contrast to an established competitor: Avis Tries Harder, The Pepsi Challenge, MCI vs. AT&T, Mac vs. PC.
