- criddell 10y agoA niche product that has revenue in the billions and hundreds of millions of users. That's not a bad niche. I think Twitter should embrace this and do as much as they can to serve their fans and stop chasing growth. Hacker News is a niche product. Should it branch out into celebrity news to grow their audience?
- DoofusOfDeath 10y agoYou mean have stories by Chris Lattner and Linus??? Man, I would pay 10x as much for that!
- at-fates-hands 10y agoTo a degree, yes. I use my main Twitter feed for development news and info sec stuff so the people I follow are pretty visible in those industries. My news feed is done through feedly, which includes more mainstream news, celeb gossip, architecture and other random topics I'm interested in. If I combined the two, I'd go nuts in a day trying to sort through it all. I've learned over time to curate my own feed and to never "cross the streams" if you know what I mean. It works well and instead of trying to filter thought so much cruft, I have specific apps for the topics I want to keep up on.
