How can Twitter be a Windows of anything? It is a tenth of Facebook's size, it's unprofitable and it can't bend any tech partners to its will, as shown by the Google Cloud situation.


I think in the OPs example Twitter is the Windows of being Twitter. If you want to use a Twitter like social network, Twitter is still king. Facebook is massive but it will still need to capture mindshare to unseat Twitter.
