Twitter Investor Chris Sacca to Third-Party Developers: Stay the Course
As Twitter turns its attention toward real revenue and “official” Twitter applications, I asked Chris Sacca for some insight. Sacca is an angel investor in more than two dozen startups, including both Twitter and the URL shortener bit.ly (highlighted in a widely-read Biz Insider piece titled: "Here's Who Just Got Screwed by Twitter"). He weighed in on whether third-party Twitter developers really are cooked. What did you think of Business Insider's round-up? Is there room for small players to coexist alongside Twitter or is it now the case that if Twitter can build it, they will? Business Insider has attained a level of sensationalism that I can't take seriously as journalism any more. Just look at how many times they retweeted their own article today. The ecosystem developers have the lead right now. They have innovated faster than Twitter and they will continue to do so. They are smaller and nimbler and have the freedom to take more chances.
