I agree.

Google has a chance to compete with Facebook, because of the gmail users + android users.
But next big social network can't be just a copy of facebook functionality with a GNU stamp on it, and some technical differences that make no impact on end users (centralized storage or not).
I wish I knew what the next big social network needs ...
- Maro 14y agoWorks on mobile? I usually have Facebook open in a tab on my desktop/macbook. But I never check it on my iPhone, somehow the content on Facebook (mostly funny pics, articles, sometimes actual photos of friends at events) doesn't fit the context I'm in while I'm away from my desk (at home or at work). It's just not important enough to check out on that tiny screen, plus it's harder to interact with (Like, comment, see who else interacted with it). I actually deleted the Facebook app because I was annoyed by the alerts. I usually just check HN when I'm bored on public transportation, the pure textual content here (the comments) are much easier to consume on an iPhone for me. Having said that, I'm pretty old at almost 32, so maybe it's just me.
