Yaniv Golan Calls Twitter “The 140-characters Netscape”
Yesterday I attended Jeff Pulver‘s 140 Conference in Tel Aviv. I really enjoyed @thekotel‘s presentation which unfortunately I didn’t film but go to the twitter profile and check it out. Alon Nir is doing a remarkable job there.
The lecture I enjoyed in particular was Yaniv Golan’s (CTO of Yedda) “The 140-characters Netscape” where he stated:
“I believe that in 2 years the Twitter brand will be in the same position as the Netscape brand is in now: Twitter will be credited with starting the revolution, and paving the road for followers (pun intended). But at the same time, it will be pushed into a minor position in the market with other players taking the lead (or, as is the case with Netscape, will no longer exist).”
It’s an interesting position and definitely a realistic one. What do you think? Do you see each of the big players creating their own twitter-like services? Do you believe like Yaniv that twitter should switch to a wordpress type model? Check out the video below.
