I feel as though we&#x27;ve gone off topic here.<p>You said that twitter doesnt provide value &quot;because they stare at the feed only to find something that then lives somewhere else.&quot;<p>When you search Google you&#x27;re finding things that live somewhere else. I&#x27;m simply pointing out that you don&#x27;t need to host the content the user is looking for to provide value.<p>I&#x27;m not saying the companies are the same. I&#x27;m not saying Twitter can be successful the same way Google has. I&#x27;m agreeing with all your points besides the fact that you need to host content to provide value.
