@anhhung wrote a review on Mimo, the Twitter clone that supports SMS as I had envisioned.

I don’t intend to dig further on Mimo. Just this thought crossed my mind:

When an original product innovates, it creates a gap with its clones. This gap either forces to clone to chase the cloned, or allows the clone to innovate and differentiate itself.

If the second action is taken, an opportunity has been realized.

   Actually, the clones are the ones with the freedom and mandate to innovate. For example, Youtube has not innovated very much at all, each new feature you’ve seen there was proven by its Japanese and Chinese clones first.

   I don’t know if Anh Hung really wrote a review. Anyway, maybe you can tell the Mimo guys they owe you money if they take off
