Honest question - is it the time for a new social network already??
- sb057 8y agoYeah, I'm starting to think that Google+ could really pick up new users if th-oh wait... right...
- creato 8y agoGoogle recognized that social networks are a liability and not an asset.
- strictnein 8y agoYoutube is a social network with lots of videos. Only somewhat joking.
- kabes 8y agoWonder if they would have recognized it if google+ was successful.
- baroffoos 8y agoThere already are new social networks. Why aren't you using them?
- UweSchmidt 8y agoNetwork effects keep people in place. Switching social networks would need a bit of a movement, which OP maybe wanted to low-key initiate? The next social network would also have to provide the simplicity, performance and features people expect, while showing real, understandable improvements in terms of privacy or the economic model (e.g. no risk being bought by Facebook like WhatsApp). In general, 'new social networks' seem rarely discussed, here in HN or elsewhere; can you maybe name a few of the options you have in mind?
