What I am hoping for, based on what I would like to exist:
Something more genuine; think older fb (writing on people's walls), snapchat. Facebook/Insta in 2018 is basically a social linkedin - used to showcase yourself as a person. Most people check Insta as a filter for dates.
I think the new generation of social media should focus on smaller groups of friends (5-30), but it should be possible to publish to wider groups. Sounds like google+ circles, but I think snapchat was closer. Short, real snippets from peoples lives.
- create_novelty 8y agoYa, you are right older versions of existing social networks were actually good, until ads came along. Curious to know why do you think Google+ failed?
- fratlas 8y agoWell I don't think they did anything new/novel. Snapchat succeeded because the concept of _just_ sending dumb photos/videos to close friends didn't exist. Adding friends to circles was also too much work for the user I think. On top of all that, it just wasn't very "cool" or fun
