It is strange for me in a era with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIN to imagine a new social network.
Nothing against it, just sound as a enormous work to learn this soon-to-be-sensation of the internet. We keep looking for ways to improve our social relationship and skills, but in the end we still in from of a computer texting and prioritizing the people that is far, instead of the people that is closer.
It seems to me that social networks are really good at keeping closer those that are far and keeping far, those that are closer.
- michaelmior 10y agoThis looks incredibly familiar to me. We basically tried the same idea at Bunch starting around 2012. The core idea was the same: connect people based around sharing content related to their interests. We made it into the thousands of users but ultimately weren't able to build enough traction. I think there still might be room for something like Hello.

- michaelmior 10y agoWhat's the solution to the personas problem on Tumblr? (I'm not an active Tumblr user.) Interestingly enough, we did see a lot of the type of content relevant to this on Tumblr. We built a Tumblr import tool to allow people to pull in their content from Tumblr. We also cross-posted some of our content out to Tumblr.
