Evan Williams- 'why i don't care if Instagram has more users than twitter'


'I don't give a shit if Instagram has more users than Twitter'
Evan Williams was recently quoted saying this in the press. However there was no emphasis on the word if so he wasn't saying there were more people use Instagran than twitter. He is proud of Twitter as it is exactly what it is meant to be, a live information network publishing important news. He doesn't care if more people are sat looking at pretty pictures as the networks were built for completely different purposes.
However, his rant was less focused on Instagram but rather how the press are so one-dimentional when reporting and how they compare things in negative ways. Realistically both social medias were created for different purposes and attract different but also the same audiences so the amount of users is irrelevant. Both are developing successful networks and this is what should be advertised.
