  1. What do you call it when you can see the train driving into a brick wall & you look up to see the captain grinning like a madman? Twitter
    oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

      I love that Twitter decided it can't compete with Instagram or Snapchat, but it is totally going to beat Facebook on Live.

          Seriously, Twitter as a platform only won because they were there first. This is the ultimate failure of scale as a biz philosophy.

            What is Periscope and why should I bother to use it when there are alternative platforms that are open that I don't have to apply to?

              Why isn't Periscope's API open? Does it have an API? Does it have even the bare minimum of basic shit FBLive and Twitch have?

                Reasons not to open Periscope's API like FB did w/live: -It is a total mess they rushed out the door -They can't afford the servers

                  In either case, Periscope is a disaster on a pile of disasters and is losing potential share every freaking day.

                    "The people's news network"?!? WTF. The people's news network is the thousands who use FB Live practically by accident daily

                      What is Periscope's competitive advantage? Name it. Please, prove me wrong.

                        If there's one thing that the shutdown of Vine tells us, it is that Twitter doesn't even know what makes Twitter work.
