Because most forms of media we have emphasize day-to-day thoughts and useless information, rather than act as a forum for discussion with likeminded people.

- igravious 11y agoThat was more cynical than what I was aiming for :) What is the alternative would you say?

- personjerry 11y agoI think we just need something like a platform where the goal isn't to just "add everyone you know " and "share everything you do". Something like a social blogging site where you only write thoughts of decent quality and only add people you actually tend to talk to? I'd say maybe something like Tumblr, but Tumblr users just seem to emulate Facebook using Tumblr. Also, the above ideals make the platform difficult for any investor to support, because it is in contrast to the normal "grow!!!!!!!" direction that most startups want to take.
