The lost alternative

Twitter, or how it is called now X, has all the characteristics of a company that should cease to exist. Catastrophic handover of the assets, chaotic decisions and controversy policy. But it is still operational. How come?

Everything we know about the business somehow is not applicable to this eccentric leader. Does it mean that if you have all the money in the world, you can do whatever you want to do?

Or does it mean that all the chaos was just another way to attract the attention and to earn free advertisement and attention from the audience?

Well Facebook tried to create alternative, but it seems like a colossal flop. Or maybe there is really no business idea and nothing that can make the business with microblogging appealing enough for big players to come and take it.

We live in an entrepreneur first business where competition and innovation are a key to success, yet some businesses are immune from an actual competition. And not having a solid alternative is a loss for the end user.

The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
