      tempted to write a YC RFS for a successor to Twitter. even with the network effect, this doesn't feel like the last company in the space.

      @sama I sense this too. There is something palpably missing. I constantly have to suppress the urge to figure out what it is.

          @paulg @sama Twitter with a point other than just talking to the world's best. A Twitter used for actually doing rather than talking?

          @paulg @sama What void do you envision the Twitter successor filling? I have thoughts on this but interested to see where you see it going.

          @paulg @sama I think the issue is the 140 characters has turned into a weird gimmick, sometimes inhibiting msgs & content (limited #, @'s)
