Do you see nairialand competing with twitter

[Trexxxy]

Lol, how is this even possible. Twitter is worth Billions of dollars, a huge social media platform. How does nairaland compare to such a huge company. I don't think nairaland can ever compete with twitter. Nairaland does have its perks tho.

I am not in Nigeria, and have not checked this site. Therefore I don't know how it compares to twitter. However, what I know a local social network can never reach the status of global brand even in that country unless the country bans that global site just like china did with facebook, whatsap etc.

 

[Chief]

Twitter is a platform that has gone very far in terms of outreach while nairaland is a platform that is confined to Nigeria alone, so it cannot compete at all with Twitter. Nairaland needs to still be to a significant extent.

 

[Oloritoks]

I don't see Nairaland competing with Twitter because, Twitter is a global social media that allows billions of user all over the world to connect each other but that can't be said of Nairaland where it is only for Nigerian and by extension some African countries, the features in Nairaland is too ordinary and not too attractive for social freaks.

 

[Nurudeen]

Even though nairaland is an informative forum and has helped a whole lots of people, I don't see it competing with twitter any time soon not even in the nearest future. The owner of nairaland Seun osewa have been called out so many times to upgrade the forum to international standard and has refused to heed the call of advice by many members.

 

[Setho]

When you loom at the both of them, they are kind of different. Twitter is a social media network while nairaland is more of a forum. In terms of membership naira land had been growing at an exponential rate in the past but failed to implement relevant features that would help consolidate its place that is why even today people complain of the tough ui and people not being able to understand the site but the idea is top notch.

 

[eLdavis]

currently no, because Nairaland still has a long way to go in terms of development. In the future? Its possible but it all depends on how Nairaland choose to impove itself. And unless nairaland tend to add in an easy chat feature

 

[Profuk57]

I think nairaland is a forum and Twitter is a social Media platform so personally I don't think nairaland is even competing with Twitter in any bases at all they are on a different level and nairakand is performing well Twitter is performing well too, to me I prefer nairaland to Twitter.

 

[Ltherman]

Naaaaaa. Never though i love nairaland but it can't compare with twitter. Outside the fact that the both are not players in the same industry one is just a forum while the other is a social media network makes their model and appeal different to their audience. I particularly spend more time on nairaland than any social media platform.

 

[Trojan8]

They were both built to serve different purposes which they are serving. Nairaland has actually been around from the time that Twitter was created. And since then it has not grown as massively as Twitter has grown. I don't think it would get to Twitter level even it owner does not seem too keen on this.

 

[Ltherman]

Though the two platform were built differently and for separate purposes i see an opportunity here that Nairaland can explore and expand the operations and its service offerings. Its annoying that for so manu years the user interface hasn't been improved upon for a better user experience and several other shortcomings from the platform.

 

[mcjerry]

Nairaland and twitter are two different platforms. They can not be compared together. Nairaland is a forum website like Trendri, only that they don't pay for posting. While twitter is a micro blog. If answer is still needed. Nairaland can never near twitter talk less of competing with twitter

 

[Eodine]

Nairaland is in a class of it's own, so is Twitter. The two don't share the same features and characteristics. Nairaland may not measure up to Twitter, but it is a very good place to catch up with the latest news both locally and internationally. It is also a great place to obtain credible information, something Twitter might not offer.

Took the words right out my mouth. The both can't really be compared as they stand for different things, naira land is a forum where relevant and irrelevant information can be expressed but Twitter is a social media platform

 

[abubakar3141]

Searching for Twitter alternatives? Tons of people want apps for social networks. What's hard is figuring out if the app you want is right for you or not. The most famous alternatives and rivals to Twitter are Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, and SlideShare.

 

[Kinglegend01]

This is really a hilarious question because there is a big difference between nairaland and Twitter. Twitter is a social media that Is used internationally by all to connect and communicate while nairaland is a website that was created for Nigerians and its diaspora to connect and share informations.

 

[jimmann247]

Yes I see nairaland competing with Twitter in the future, that is in the Nigerian online terim. Nairaland has a lot of useful topics that keeps me going the daily, I hardly visit Twitter the way I visit nairaland these days. Nairaland has a love of guru's that teaches for free, Twitter is just social media.

 

[Ibrahim1]

As for the question you as and in my own way I never see nairaland competating with Twitter because nairaland can never be like Twitter moreover Twitter also gives updates on so many things and can never be like Twitter at all

 

[Draysongz]

Nairaland can never and will never be in the same category with Twitter. Twitter isa global Social media, where people around the world discusses, nairaland can't even boast of 50k membership not to mention that only Nigerians are on the platform.

 

[tuna89]

Nairaland and twitter are social media platforms but different functions, nairaland deals majorly with news and updates whereby lots of people can comment what they feel about such posts but twitter deals with updates from individuals' personal experiences, marketing, news, all these on a world level, these are some of the major reasons the competition between both may not exist, the number of followers or members also matter a lot.

 

[Damscooguns73]

Concerning if nairaland is competing with Twitter. Well, we can compared nairaland to twitter though both are social platform that are doing well. Twitter is global, people all over the world access it on a daily basis while Nairaland is mostly accessible to Nigerians,more like a forum with large number of people
