Interesting story. What was your product exactly?
We were original doing Jaiku in 2006 with the full focus on mobile initially but pretty soon changed focus to web, because it was impossible to get mobile distribution at those days. We sold to Google in 2007, but had we continued, we would have faced a very interesting decision, when iPhone app store came out: move main focus back to mobile?
Thinking about this alternative history is very interesting. Twitter was clearly ahead on the web, although we gave them some challenge when Leo Laporte and his fans switched from Twitter to Jaiku. But in this alternative history had we realized importance of iPhone early enough (very big question mark, as we were based in Finland, the land of the Nokia) we could have had chance to execute on mobile better than Twitter.
