It's interesting that the author noted that moot is not CEO material when he has 4chan. In ten years, moot will still have 4chan and tumblr will be a memory.

- hayksaakian 13y agoAs people continuously switch to the "new thing" in social media, forums and message boards are always there, and far more active than most people give credit
- GuiA 13y agoYes. 4chan is ten years old, and does not have to raise money or please their executive board to survive. Grassroots communities are by nature more durable than ones artificially built by millions in venture money. One potential exception to that rule is Reddit; it'll be interesting to see what becomes of it.
