skype, twitter and the unused phone

p - 28.6.07 - Uncategorized |

both skype and twitter build up their network effect on top of unused functionality in telephony. twitter largely got popular in the US by taking advantage of SMS and texting, and their lack of popularity. skype again becomes a very popular instant messenger because people use it for text chat instead of making the classic skype call. both use the omnipresence of the technology of telephony as a background and take advantage through functional regression.

skype is: i could phone you but i rather chat now. twitter is: i could send an SMS to you, but rather SMS from my desktop to all my friends.
