Facebook and Twitter represent v1 of social networking, a bad copy of the analog world, whereas v2 is something unique to digital and a lot more promising
Ben Thompson / Stratechery : Tweets: @blaine , @rossgarber , @damanr , @blaine , @modestproposal1 , and @stratechery Tweets: Blaine Cook / @blaine : The way we and our communities relate is a very human trait (biological, even!), and it has neither changed much nor do I think will it change much. I used to say that Facebook was a wedding from hell, where everyone you'd ever met was at the bar talking about you in plain sight. Ross Garber / @rossgarber : Provocative and smart. Why next gen social networking platforms will focus more on connecting on narrowly-defined interests as opposed to connecting us as whole people. Uniquely suitable to digital (as opposed to IRL). https://stratechery.com/... via @stratechery Daman Rangoola / @damanr : For as valuable as the group DM has become to the Twitter experience, the actual product is shockingly bad https://stratechery.com/... https://twitter.com/... Blaine Cook / @blaine : I built Twitter three years after my sociology degree, and have felt unwaveringly confident that this is the structure of future online networks since 2007 at the latest. I'm not very good at writing about it, but this post from @benthompson gets so much right. https://twitter.com/... Modest Proposal / @modestproposal1 : Good stuff on the evolution of social media https://twitter.com/... @stratechery : Social Networking 2.0 Facebook and Twitter represent the v1 of Social Networking; it's a bad copy of the analog world, whereas v2 is something unique to digital, and a lot more promising. https://stratechery.com/...
