I have mixed feelings about pro-level features here on #coso. On one hand I understand that I am utilizing (for free at this time) the work of one or more developer who deserves compensation for the effort. On the other hand #coso's success is aided by users. Why was the bird successful and free? It had found a business model that generated income and value but not through the pockets of its users. #thinkingoutloud #whoinvitedthisguy
@mooseshoes Define "#coso's success" first. Twitter's business model is to sell your attention and that's best done by showing you content that provokes a response. CoSo's business model is to sell itself to you by providing enough value that enough users pay to keep it sustainable. For me, the CoSo model works better. I don't need an algorithm working to enrage me into engagement. I just need thoughtful, funny, creative people in my feed.
