There is never going to be a twitter clone. As far as I can tell in tech once a specific product or software reaches critical mass, you can't replicate it. Tik tok didn't replace youtube its a different service. Sure it's a clone of vine, but despite even brojoe using vine , it never quite took off.I’ve never been happier to have no idea what “threads” is. I think it’s the Instagram Twitter clone but I’m not sure, I can’t wait till the next big social media thing comes out and I for real have no idea what it is.
Facebook wasn't a clone of MySpace they were founded a few months apart. Has there ever been a successful clone in the same space? Instagram didn't really do it. There was no picture only social media platform.
The closest I can think of is reddit copying digg. And dig was pretty huge. Limewire replacing Napster as the p2p service would fit i think, but Napster didn't really get replaced they got forcibly shut down.
The whole point of this faggoty software retrospective is that in my opinion whatever "replaces" twitter won't be a clone. It would be something new entirely and then twitter just dies like digg and MySpace did.
Someone please correct me if you have an example.
