According to foreign media reports, Twitter chief executive Costello recently announced the resignation under outside pressure, Twitter is seen as a result of its performance and former rival Facebook, the gap is getting bigger. But a recent US industry personage said that Twitter and Facebook are significantly different, requiring Twitter to have the same high growth and good performance as Facebook is a myth.
Josen Caracanis, an American angel investor and chief executive of Inside.com's website, made the announcement in an interview with CNBC, the US financial media.
He says many people compare Twitter's performance to Facebook, which has made an essential mistake and misunderstood the different modes of social network operations. He believes that the current size of Twitter users is relatively appropriate, the pace of growth is also relatively ideal.
Caracanis said the outgoing chief executive, Costello, has helped Twitter build an excellent social advertising platform, and Costello has also been very good at corporate mergers and acquisitions.
Caracanis said Wall Street had given Costello too much pressure to resign, a mistake on Wall Street, which is why many of today's tech startups are reluctant to go public.
The industry expert said that in the future Twitter should buy more new technology companies, and Twitter's current social network advertising platform should serve as an infrastructure to serve more corporate brands and mobile Internet software.
Not all internet companies are able to get the same high growth as Facebook, Caracanis says, and it is unrealistic to expect ordinary people to be able to achieve the best performers.
Twitter and Facebook are currently the world's two most influential social networks, with two companies growing in size and market position, but the gap between Twitter and Facebook is growing in the mobile internet era, Facebook, with its acquisition of good maker WhatsApp, Instagram, and the building of its own messenger, has mastered the overall mobile social situation and adapted to the changing industry of mobile chat. The size of its mobile social users has become the industry's first place.
Twitter, for its part, is thought to be niche and not as old as Facebook. Over the past year, Twitter has begun to dramatically improve the usability of its products (including mimicking many of Facebook's features), especially its move to mobile chat tools, looking to get more new users.
