I get this feeling there’s a perceived opportunity of perpetual innovation in social media space. I don’t want to say “everything that can be invented has already been invented”. But I don’t think that underlying technology and society has changed so much there’s going to be a thing that’s going to rival twitter or fb in the next couple years.
- yodsanklai 3y agoI'm not so sure. Technology is one thing, but finding the right format for social networks may take many iterations. I find Twitter to be extremely toxic for instance, but there's some value to it. There must be a way to improve this initial idea. Keep the good, and minimize trolls and hate speech, and encourage people to stay courteous. Same thing for Facebook.

- notatoad 3y ago> everything that can be invented has already been invented From a technology perspective I think this is broadly correct - these are essentially just crud apps, there’s nothing new. (i know there's plenty of cool tech around scaling it to billions of users, just not in the core functionality) But in addition to being technology products, these apps are entertainment products. And as long as people have the capacity to get bored, there will be continued opportunity to innovate on the entertainment experience. It doesn’t even have to be novel, just recycle some app ideas from ten years ago. I’m sure vine will be back soon.
