Twitter’s biggest rival: Facebook?

April 28, 2007

I thought Jaiku was Twitter’s biggest competitor.  Turns out Facebook is, according to Alex Saunders who points out that Facebook is Twitter plus:

  • aggregated feeds from outside sources
  • significant personal / professional profile information available from members
  • large networks of friends to draw from
  • events, and groups to participate in
  • conversation threads
  • fine-grained privacy control
  • a large audience already acquired

Note to Biggu guys, see if we can integrate egorcast’s functionality into Facebook. . .

    http://www.congoo.com
    http://www.stubleupon.com

    Never heard of congoo, stubleupon isn’t a site (stumbleupon is, but they got bought) and I am sure something good will come of twitter (most likely an acquisition).
