The common trope lately is to compare Twitter now to Whatsapp back in the days. It's so disingenuous and tiring.

The same people doing that now would've probably looked at WhatsApp and been coming out with trivialised comparisons and saying Erlang is some hipster language etc and why arent they sharding more or using Hadoop because "big data" etc.
