The explanation that twitter would be a part of the fediverse is a
little bit strange. Statusnet/GNU Social just acts like a twitter-client.

People on twitter cannot talk to users from GS.

And if you really would see it that way, then friendica would be the
biggest network, because:

- It speaks natively with GS
- It speaks natively with Diaspora
- There are bidirectional connectors to the following networks:
  - app.net
  - twitter
  - facebook
  - pump.io
  - GS (additionally to the native support)
