Ubermedia vs Twitter : The Next Battle of Social Media

As we knew that, on social media era, that twitter leads the way after Facebook of course, Many companies have tried, in everyway and just got failed to compete with Twitter. It appears that UberMedia hopes to leverage its user base, especially its power users in building an alternative network. Yeahh in many ways we agree that it is important for companies like UberMedia to make some diversify of their options and reduce platform dependence.

Some new technology and new feature is started to develope, as reported from Mashable, The buy-in that Twitter already has with both users and brands is really huge volume. Convincing brands to maintain two accounts, one for Twitter and one for some Power Twitter Alternative will be an uphill battle. Moreover, Twitter has tremendous buy-in from developers of non-client applications.

Everybody know that, minutes by minutes the number twitter user is growth with significant volume, and several apps that connect to the Twitter API is growing every day, and an alternative network needs to compete not just with Twitter.com, but with the fact that apps like Flipboard and Instagram seamlessly connect with Twitter.

Mashable argue, In an ideal world, UberMedia could develop an alternative network that could operate in parallel with Twitter. This is the approach that Identi.ca takes. Users of the Identi.ca service can sync with a Twitter account and communicate with users on both networks, while also taking advantage of Identi.ca only features. To us, Status.net’s model seems to be the most well-suited for this type of venture. yeah the choice is yours
