You said it the best. It is clear that the "clone" had been around for a long time already

I can't upmod this comment enough. Regardless of whether they got some inspiration from twitvid.io they both copied the idea from somewhere else. It's not like twitvid isn't super-obvious as a name considering twitpics success.

Also, how many ways could a service like this be built? It's obvious what features you need, what look you are going for etc.

thanks trapper, that's a nice thing to say.

It's a inevitable service built on top of another service. It's like saying CBS copied NBC.

Use this as motivation to make yours better.
