I totally agree with you Twitter has become the king of the Social Networking Sites. Now Google has done partnership with twitter and Google show twitter discussion in its Real Time Result.

I tried Quub myself today, while at first glance I felt that the way they have the status update and the cloud of your posts is interesting, but then I find it difficult to connect to people and reply to their posts. It got me frustrated and drove me off the site!

Anonymous, we are writing our point of view. We do not intend to attack, but in our humble opinion, we think that Quub is Yet Another Micro-blogging site, and it’s difficult to reach a Twitter-like status/growth due to the reasons discussed.
In all cases, we wish Quub’s team the best of luck!

Dear Anonymous...

I greatly appreciate your comment.

What you said is true: what is written in this article is indeed an opinion, mine in specific nevertheless, it is based on research.

I do hope Quub makes it in the social media jungle, I didn't deem it is a failure rather suggested the reasons why it could fail.

From my point of view and that of others who have posted comments about Quub on Techcrunch's article, it seems that many people will not be using Quub for the reasons I have mentioned.

I, as a member of Thoughtpick, am in no way biased towards one service or tool against the other. Trust me, if in a few weeks or months time Quub proves it can shine in the social media world, I will write about its success and refer to this piece in my argument :)

Finally, I personally would not return to a site that failed me from the beginning unless I feel so much more value to it compared to the value of my time :)

Thank you again for your comment.

Hmm, much of your criticism revolves around how Quub will fail because you personally do not find it useful. Isn’t that a flawed logic? Every single technology have its uses and demographics. It may not fit your bill but that doesn’t mean it won’t be useful to someone else.

The comment about the site crashing is unfair. If a site has a legitimate excuse for crashing, it is during the first few weeks of rapid scaling. Unresponsiveness on the first day of launch does not mean it will stay that way.

While Twitter has been at the top of micro-blogging services, it hasn’t yet crowned as the king of Social Media jungle. I know that it is growing exponentially, but it is still small compared to facebook for instance.

I have never heard about Quub before myself, and I agree with Amer that it takes more than a small twist in order to enjoy the success of Twitter. But it is also still in beta version, they haven’t been released yet. Who knows, maybe they would surprise us?

I agree and at the same time do not agree with the uniqueness point: Quub seems to have a new element of having the past, present and future divisions of the timeline, but at the same time, twitter is already much more successful than any other micro-blogging platform. I think they need to try harder. A small twist is not enough. I guess we’ll have to wait and see…
