Why do people do clones of highly
successful sites?
Guess we reached Peak-German-Engineering : /. VW's are made in Mexico,
Duduku copies twitter and let's not get into politics either.
Anyway, the reason is easy $$$. Another example of fellow Germans
playing the copy-cat game:
http://www.studivz.net/ - It's
like a 1:1 copy of facebook. Just that the people who do it are
clueless kids and their servers go down on a regular basis. -- sold for
~100 mio euro.
Ok, so let's move on and get creative with so many people out there
that are not this should be the more successful approach ; )

right, so they try to clone since they don't have enough imagination to
create their own popular site.
you can often make money selling the clone. also, if you setup the
clone to be similar to the original (similar style domain, appearance,
etc), it could fool people into thinking you're the original site

Taking this slightly off-topic: Why do people do clones of highly
successful sites? I mean is it really worth it? In dukudu's case I can
see the point Twitter isn't localized. But in general why should it
be a good idea?
