SHOW NOTES:

• Meta launches Twitter-clone called “Threads”

IT’S GETTING OBVIOUS THAT TWITTER IS STRUGGLING AND YOU’D LIKE SOMETHING BETTER

• It’s an important tool, but it’s not keeping up with the needs of the modern world
• The alternatives all seems to have more questions than answers
• But the pain is enough to consider modernization options

BUT WHAT ALL IS INVOLVED IN MOVING TO A MODERNIZED VERSION OF THE APP?

• Let’s evaluate what’s there today. Do we see the good or what’s missing?
• What can it replace today? What can’t it replace? 
• What’s the roadmap? Will the roadmap ever replace all that’s missing? 
• What’s important to us? Can we quantify it instead of just making it emotional?
• How long do we need to live with the alternative, potentially in parallel?
• What’s the learning curve? Can you re-training the user-base?
• How do you migrate data? How much data will you lose? 
• How do you know if this will be successful when you start the modernization?
