    Twitter could monetize their service by using the sentiment analysis of Summize

    yeah, being first is important; it's not just a coincidence.

    Still #1 with mountains of competition; first mover advantage in action.

    picking up as companies are using it to get their news across. Examples range from BBC to PhD comics

    A company who can actually deliver great performance and up-time will win against them.

    I think their lead in this space is too high. Their repeated down time issues has not slowed down their growth.

    It's pretty ridiculous how unstable the platform is, although it appears that it's users are accepting it for now

    Limited upside growth, product diversification is limited.

    May be a bad sign when they are getting positive press for site not going down...
