Economics of eyeballs

2012-12-06 18:08:20.054493+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

RT Rene Ritchie @reneritchie on the Twitter/Instagram break-up:

Twitter doesn’t want eyeballs on third-party clients. Instagram doesn’t want eyeballs on Twitter. No one cares what the eyeballs want.

(Via Dave Winer). And the eyeballs don't care enough to pay for their own web presence.

Lesson there?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
