Twitter Steals Facebook's Stories Idea, Calls It "Tales"

When Facebook crossed the 500 million user milestone, they celebrated with the launch of a new product called “Facebook stories“. The product was well received and the employees of Facebook were pretty excited about the launch. Two days ago Twitter launched “Twitter Tales”, a product which is essentially a direct copy of Facebook Stories. To say the least, there are a number of Facebook employees who weren’t happy about it.

It’s not that Twitter doesn’t deserve to have recognition for affecting millions of humans around the world, it’s just that they chose to display things in a way that’s almost identical to Facebook weeks after Facebook stories first launched.
