Meerkat was starting to become a social darling for the social media crowd. Meerkat allowed people to start streaming personally and made it a simple cleaning app. They were doing so well until Twitter decided to act up again. Again, Twitter is attempting to kill a competitor through API death. They want to keep to their own company which they recently acquired for no good reason as the main streaming client. The irony: the thing that kept then going, invented ways to improvement to their platforms and arguably made them is the thing they want to kill off. As I heard arguably the thing that made their company known, hashtags, were not designed by them but by a third party. That just proves to me that Twitter should stop being a network and start being a platform. 인터넷바카라
Their setup doesn't allow for proper social network based setup. We recently go the ability to mute (which should have rolled out sooner) and yet that isn't enough. Thomas Ricker goes into better detail but we can't temporarily mute hashtag or people for a time duration. We can't hide particular posts we don't want to see. Search is STILL loathsome even with their advance search (certain ways of searching does not feel optimum).
You would think that for a company that wants to deliver a great experience they would put time and effort into these things. Instead they have not.
They do however have the setup for a platform: low data prints, easy to communicate with great authorization and great broadcasting features for a lot of people. It makes it easy for people to jump in and out of said platform easily and thus get included into conversations quickly like a platform. These things are what make Twitter not only fun but good enough so that a person can MacGyver their way into creating an experience that people want to use. They have frame work ready, so now they just got to make the framework get tools, those tools should be 3rd Party APIs. 카지노사이트
Back in the days of Twitter being a company that let users join up on their API, a lot of places came up with interesting ways to connect to Twitter. It could be their own client, it could be to their own services for a platform, or it could even be creating a service that extends the platform. One experience: When there was a "decent" Chrome Twitter client, I rarely checked Twitter because it did everything I needed to. In that moment, Twitter should have focused into being that main API area. Instead, they restricted and are now paying the price.
They now have to take harassment even more seriously because people are leaving. They are having middling results trying to keep those here and grow the platform. All of these things cut into their profits and otherwise financial interests as a company. Moreover, it really makes it hard to talk to investors about how bad things are getting, and especially when you have an email come out admitting you suck at your job.
Which now brings me back to this news with Meerkat. Twitter, once again, botches what could make it better by being a platform by opposing anyone to run with said platform and instead trying to lock people into said ecosystem. Which now means they're going to now manage streams which can make them even MORE overextended than they usually are. Twitter doesn't have to walk this path. Instead they could brach out: Create better tools and methods for your API including better ways for 3rd parties to show you how harassment works and how to deal with it (including action plans for Swatting). Get Digits out and become THE de facto phone number authorization protocol (which can then help verify accounts). Get crazy: acquire Disqus, create new ways to make Disqus that social API for commenting as well as arguably user interaction that anyone can custom make under the hood and tie up Twitter with it. 온라인카지노
Just whatever you do, stop trying to be a social network, because you're not a social network. Facebook is a social network, LinkedIn is a social network, Snapchat, Google+, and even Ello are social networks and better at the game than you could ever need to, would want to, or should be.
