UberMedia Launches Twitter Competitor Chime.in

Does UberMedia have Twitter in its sights with the launch of its new Chime.in network? The company already owns some of the most popular Twitter apps, such as Twidroyd and UberSocial, and some speculate that its latest project, a social network of its own, is aiming right at Twitter’s achilles heel: its users.

Twitter was built on the strength of its userbase well before it was able to monetize them, so a competing network, especially one that could lure away users who access Twitter through UberMedia-owned apps – is a potential threat.
