Should the mainstream media see Twitter as competition?

“Twitter unveiled an interesting partnership with the NASCAR auto-racing circuit on Thursday, in which the real-time information network has created a kind of portal for the Pocono 400 race ... [A]n editor hired by Twitter will also be selecting or ‘curating’ the stream. If that sounds like the kind of thing a media company might do, it’s probably because it is the kind of thing a media company would do — the NASCAR deal takes Twitter even further into the realm of being a media entity.”

"So what made Instagram so successful? Some of it was good timing ... the app launched not long after the new iPhone 4 was released ... had a much better camera than its predecessor. This led to more demand for a good photo-sharing service ...

Currently, mobile revenue still relies heavily on in-app purchases (71%) over mobile advertising (29%).”
