I'd think an HN user would know better.. It takes drastically less time to clone a product than to make it from scratch and refine it to perfection.


Execution is somewhat hard, but there needs to be durable competitive advantage: user base, brand, IP, talent, etc. All other things being more-less equal, a few apps will inevitably dominate. (I would acquire Asana and Rally Software which owns FlowDock.)


So why did they cry and make google remove the webchat client then?

The idea that campfire is refined to perfection is laughable.
