> ..rejected a $40 million acquisition by Twitter... Yikes. I always regarded Frontback as a feature, and assumed that they'd end up being acquihired. I'm astonished that they thought there was a real company to be built around it.

Like snapping a photo or a video, and adding a caption is just a feature?

  It isn't unique though. Would you consider a company that sells you notebooks with the ability to draw on them and annotate your drawings to be a unique company to build around? I don't mean this in an argumentative way, but taking a video isn't a billion dollar feature.

    Uniqueness is irrelevant, it's the 100 million+ DAU's which are valuable.

      You made me look up DAU. Thanks - an acronym I had never seen!

  Yeah, pretty much.
