Twitter-like services have 2 usages: status update and micro-blogging.

1. As I clearly stated in my previous slide, it’s safe to drop the term “micro-blog” for discussions in Vietnamese context. That leaves status updates which is a highly desirable feature among Vietnamese users.

2. I gave a wow to LinkHay’s blast collection feature. My impression that it was a Twitter clones killer.

3. A closer glance into Ola Me reveals that it is more than a Twitter clone

• ASAO, the company behind Ola, has the capability to build alliance(s) that offer SMS incentive to users
• Which means values to users are tangible and can be quantified
• And the differentiation is in terms of quality of Service, more than that of Product

4. Two channels to keep track of Twitter usage growth in Vietnam: the Facebook group ‘Twitter Community in Vietnam’ and the Twitter account @twitvietnam.

In terms of (relatively) measurable quality, check out the Grader’s list.
