I think before anyone is going to be able to "disrupt" Facebook, you need to take their cash cow away from them. DATA.
I honestly believe the future of social media will be such that (a) user data is stored on a user-controlled [owned?] platform (b) user data is then [based on custom rules set by user] distributed to social networks.
Once the data is decentralized any Joe can then build a network and instantly take advantage of data, since the user will simply "flip a switch" and suddenly all of their data can be transferred / added-to the new network.
- rebuilder 9y agoHow does this happen? Users don't care, social network companies don't want to build this.
- perpetualcrayon 9y agoMaybe someone with $1BN, who wants to "disrupt" social network companies, builds it? I do think (a) if it existed, and (b) it was simple / reliable / durable / secure enough that users had the option, they would care.
