Re: paradox
If anyone is able to right the ship of Twitter, it is Jack Dorsey.   But the challenge continues ot be growth--and as you noted, whether people get tired of it--how many features can one "pack in"--we all know that 80% of the features typically are not used anyway unless one is "hard core".

Challenging and interesting times...wishing you all a fab W-end!!

:))

Re: paradox
Musical chairs is a nice way to put it--and as reports we're seeing about Verizon & Google trying to pick up pieces of Yahoo, it continues to keep those of us "glorified geeks" as fascinated as ever!!!

Re: paradox
@mpouraryan, great point - I believe scalability is an inherent challenge in all designs.  We should not overlook the fundamentals!

Re: paradox
I would humbly suggest that the challenge is one of scalability along with user engagement and interaction.    The jury is still out.

Re: Algorithms
@mhhf1ve, great thoughts on the algorithms.  That is something that FB has done well and continues to invest in.  Without question they have fully engaged the customer and that has contributed to their strong market position.  If they continue to develop effective algorithms that serve the customer, they will continue to be a leader.

Note:  I heard one of their key people interviewed last night on Charlie Rose and he defined their role as enabling digital communications - sounds like they will be investing in algorithms for the seeable future.

Re: paradox
@mpouraryan, that is interesting with Twitter.  Good questions.  It appears that they are identifying the "best play" and are keeping their eye on the combination of connectivity and content.  The connectivity platform I believe is broader and could fit Twitter very well.  Fascinating to watch - telco musical chairs!

Re: paradox
One very interesting contention I saw on the washington post was how Twitter is evolving into basically a "cable company" as Cable is eyeing the enterprise sector as they nabbed deals to stream NFL & MLB games.    I wonder how that would factor into long term strategY?

Re: paradox
What we can agree with is that some of the players we know now will dissipate for sure.  I was reflecting upon this as I saw the recent management turmoil at Intel (as reported in Today's Wall Street Journal) as it struggles to adapt to the transformation we're witness to and deliberate here all the time.    Cable also has its' continued challenges as content providers continue to race towards a "decoupling"..>Starz just came out with its' App.

Fascinating times....

Cable in the enterprise sector...
> "Taking a page out of its residential and SMB playbooks, cable operators can make inroads in the enterprise sector by simplifying the complexity for their customers..."

I do wonder, tho, how some cable operators can make inroads when many cablecos are locally-restricted. I thought that was the whole reason why cablecos were "stuck" serving SMBs -- because SMBs are usually local or geographically-restricted businesses. A national chain or enterprise doesn't want to necessarily deal with not having all of its offices on the same cableco. 

Has anything changed to make cableco more able to service nation-wide offices?

Re: Algorithms
I think it's interesting to see FB and IG's algorithms being debated... when other services like Twitter and Google search and G+ seem to fall by the wayside because their algorithms aren't as engaging.....
