      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 discovery really sucks (to be fair, it sucks for most services). Too heavyweight to preview/follow a person.

          @sama @mattcutts @paulg The noise to signal ratio is too high. On Facebook, the ratio is right, but the content too luridly banal.
