Not an all-bad outcome, tbh: "With effort, it’s possible to recreate almost any individual benefit that Twitter offers—its role as a news source, as a discussion forum, as a place to make friends, or as a marketing channel—but it is much more difficult to recreate Twitter’s specific combination of all of those. Like Facebook’s birthday feature, much of what we’ve relied upon Twitter to provide will likely slip through the cracks, or simply fail to reemerge elsewhere."
