second, unfortunately the social network *i* created gets as much use by its creator as by anybody: none

Interesting, what was that network? Momentum is hard. My early plan: - Stress the knowledge graph aspect of it, as that might be generally useful. - Run some actual concrete social algorithm on top of it. Example: basic income experiment. I'd be willing to partially fund it.

Yea. I've been working on something sorta related for my newsletter. Metcalfe's law still exists but...I think people (and I) underestimate how much easier it is to get people to try new places. E.g. I am on [new link] check it out.

I agree. I think a "killer feature" of a new social network is something that makes it works well (e.g. add high value) for small n in Metcalfe's terms. This bootstraps. Like everything I say, the preceding might or might not be trivially true/obvious/wrong :)

In the case of what I call Agora, that could be: - Allow groups of small size to cooperate to reach stated goals (for example by way of simple resource sharing; start with information and money). - Encourage groups with conflicting identities to find common beliefs and values.

(The TLDR is that the Agora is a take on social networks as problem solving machines).

Do you want to try to build it with me? I have a day job and can realistically only do this in the weekends. I think collaborating in our free time in building an experiment in collaboration just makes sense ;) You can also help by using it.

I'm working on something with a cofounder now, but I do want to see this as it progresses.
