The technology behind most of these “services” is simple and easily copied.

As for VC’s – agreed, this venture is probably more fit for angel investment… they need a designer FAST.

yeah; i think the VCs in the valley should only invest in companies with a business model.

the technology is simple; it will be copied, and done better by those who’re meaner/leaner.

True… I just wasn’t sure if you were implying that a follow model equates to an attempt to take on Twitter.

I’m not sure I understand this “jive.ly” service 100%, but I do believe the mobile SMS and MMS opportunity is growing… something Twitter hasn’t quite conquered efficiently.

No, the follow model itself is not doomed but most attempts to take on Twitter (at this point) will be.

[...] It was just announced over at Tech Crunch that there is a new social network in town that works a bit like Twitter. Of course a lot of people are trying to work on things similar to Twitter because if it worked for Twitter why wouldn’t it work for me? Duh! Well that’s not always how things work. You can’t just copy something and expect it to work. That’s why they tried to make Jive.ly a bit different and offer more. That’s the thing that might make this thing take off. The review didn’t seem to put much thought into Jive.ly taking off but who knows. I am sure not many thought Twitter would be where it is today in only 3 years and the same could be said about a lot of networks and sites. [...]
