People would kill -- KILL -- for a (textless!) logo that is as immediately recognizable as Twitter's.
Having that is so rare and valuable. That's *the thing* that cost $44 billion.
@jsit Absolutely right. Do you know how many social networks I could build for $44 billion dollars? Especially if I had a one-letter URL in my back pocket already? I could build a whole-ass product from scratch, with a world-class team, plus marketing budget, for like…1% of that.
I guess I wouldn’t be able to ruin my reputation and “pwn the libs" in the process though
@jsit Best part is that the discourse on Twitter is basically "omg this is awful" as people who haven't left refuse to leave but continue to lament their fate
