Algorithmic feed was a boon for Instagram's and Twitter's growth; Snapchat should evolve
Josh Constine / TechCrunch : Tweets: @joshconstine , @joshconstine , @basche42 , @benedictevans , @benedictevans , and @benedictevans Tweets: Josh Constine / @joshconstine : Algorithmic feed sorting got Twitter growing again, brought Instagram 200M users in a year. Snapchat needs to evolve http://tcrn.ch/2oJtOGf Josh Constine / @joshconstine : Snapchat messaging & Stories got their start by being the anti-Facebook but now that philosophy is holding it back http://techcrunch.com/... Ben Basche / @basche42 : I don't think Josh understands what Snapchat is for http://twitter.com/... Benedict Evans / @benedictevans : Newsfeed perhaps a much more basic difference between Snap & FB, and the thing FB can't clone. Can argue good or bad http://twitter.com/... Benedict Evans / @benedictevans : One side: Snap knows it doesn't have a newsfeed and that's the idea. And FB copying Stories is like trying to kill IG by copying filters. Benedict Evans / @benedictevans : FB always cite metrics showing algo feed produces higher engagement. That feels incomplete to me. How closely do clicks match value?
