# Social Media Copycats Say Hola to Birddi, the Spanish Twitter By Jessica Marcel | Published 2009-10-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birddi-the-spanish-twitter References: [techcrunch](http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/03/birddi-is-a-spanish-twitter-clone/) & [birddi](http://www.birddi.com) Birddi, the Spanish [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweetfast1), is a not-even-vaguely disguised copy of the popular social media site. Luckily ‘copycat’ is just an expression, or Birddi would be eaten. Let’s see…same font, [same animal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweettunes), same colors…Birddi creator (a term used loosely) 19-year-old Argentinian developer Martin Lio could have done *something* original here. I could do better than Birddi just sitting here thinking of random stuff. You could change the animal. Maybe a cow—the next social media site: [http://www.Moooo.com](http://www.Moooo.com). Or maybe a small yapping dog (they’re synonymous with incessant chatter): [http://www.YipYap.com](http://www.YipYap.com). You could change the color. How about yellow? Or pink... Or any other color besides light blue. Birddi is completely uninspired. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Copycat Social Media:** The trend of creating social media platforms that blatantly copy existing ones which presents opportunities for refining the user experience and creating better platforms. - **Localized Social Media:** The trend of launching social media platforms that cater to specific countries, similar to Birddi, which presents opportunities for market penetration and engagement in those countries. - **Originality and Innovation:** The trend of emphasizing original ideas and innovation for new social media platforms which presents opportunities for disruptive market entrants and gaining a competitive edge. ### Where This Applies - **Social Media:** The industry that is constantly evolving and has ongoing opportunities for improvement and innovation. - **Technology:** The industry which facilitates the creation and growth of social media platforms and presents opportunities for innovation through new technological advancements. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The industry which leverages social media for campaigns and customer engagement and presents opportunities for exploring new platforms and tactics to reach target audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Online Social Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bf-island.md) - [Social Bio Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-cringe.md) - [Social Copy Optimizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweetfast1.md) - [Simplified Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-feed1.md) - [Dedicated Social Media Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget.md) - [Custom Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-social-media.md) - [AI-Aided Social Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/befake-ai-social-network.md) - [Pet Community Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petdiary.md) - [Customizable Profile Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app.md)
