For some products, yes. For example, if you were to make a social media network that targets the general populace for finding their real life friends, it wouldn't work unless you had... well, the general populace on it. No matter how awesome the technology would be. The same with DNS replacements.

The projects mentioned in this thread aren't the first to offer an expanded DNS solution for one reason or another. None of them gained traction.

Hence why Twitter still has no viable competitor or replacement, especially when the money is still there despite all the hype and mania of it 'dying'.
