Very interesting insight - could you have gotten around the chicken-and-egg problem pre-twitter? What would your approach have been?

- simonw 15y agoI honestly don't think we could have - other sites had attempted to do this kind of thing for conferences in the past and hadn't really taken off, and I think the lack of a pre-existing social graph was a big factor. The fact that Twitter already had a social graph and a heavy focus on event activity was one of the inspirations for starting the site.
