Asking HN: so if Friendster lost out to MySpace (and then Facebook, etc) - who is Twitter's MySpace?<p>I would argue it's FriendFeed.<p>A race for the distant 2nd:<p>- Plurk
- Pownce
- Disqus (strange - but possible)
Why don't they just stop new signups and limit everyones tweets to 20 a day. That seems like it would help them address scaling issues without shutting down.<p>I might of course be missing something. Maybe the 20 a day limit is hard due to APIs needing updating etc.
