A Standalone Messaging App Is The Last Thing Twitter Needs

twitterDespite being one of the most popular and powerful social networks on the planet, Twitter is far from perfect. With only a quarter of the 1 billion registered accounts remaining active, the platform clearly lacks mainstream appeal. So what's missing? According to ATD, privacy. Today, Twitter is reported to launch a standalone messaging app to compete with the likes of Line, KakaoTalk and Snapchat. It has even reportedly been meeting with employees at MessageMe (to poach? to aqui-hire? unclear for now).If all of this is true, this points to a big question: Is a me-too approach to messaging the best strategy for Twitter right now?No. And also no.
