Build a site similar to Twitter????

7 replies
Do you think it would be legal t build your own site similar to Twitter? How different would it have to be in order to not get in trouble? Like twitter must have some patents and stuff like that???

But look at Fiverr, there's thousands of similar sites like it online, and they don't seem to do anything?

What are your thoughts on this? There must be scripts out there for doing similar sites to Twitter?

    I don't see any problems in creating a site similar to Twitter (as long as you don't use their trademarks). However, the real questions are:

    - Why would you do that?
    - What would make your site different/better than Twitter?
    - What value will people get from it?
    - How will you market it? Generate traffic?
    - How can you compete with Twitter?

    If your plan is to simply create a Twitter clone, I personally don't think it is a good idea...

      LOL this made me laugh, it's not as easy as you think.

      Your website must have something unique & catchy otherwise nobody would want to sign up to another Twitter as if having Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & Pinterest all on your tabs isn't a pain in the ass already.

      Love it .

      Would need to have a massive twist if you want to rival Twitter. I personally wouldn't try unless you had a very creative solid idea.

    It's best to avoid making a clone site as you are asking for trouble in the future. Websites like Twitter and Facebook are on a whole different calibur then the traditional sites you'll see made by most internet marketers.

    They require a great team, money to invest, and a marketing strategy that could result ultimately in money down the drain.

    Put together a list of ideas that fit your personality, find pains in the marketplace, and then make a realistic and more importantly a unique business plan.
