Twitter Starts Monetitzing, Startups Get Shafted April 13, 2010
Word on the street is that Twitter might be are likely to shrivel up and disappear as a result. Colour me unsurprised.
Did these companies really think that acting as leeches, riding on the coattails of Twitter’s success, would do anything for them? If your entire business model can come crashing down that easily, how stable of a business model was it in the first place?
Don’t get me wrong – I’m thankful for all the things that these services have provided us over the last couple of years – but no exit strategy is the worst kind of exit strategy.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out as Twitter evolves as a company.
