    The longer I go without Twitter, the happier I am. But the only place I have to say that is Twitter. So please, someone, replace Twitter.

        @paulg I'm actually starting to agree with that, it's just not the same anymore.

      @paulg Any chance of publishing a wishlist for what you see a viable Twitter replacement being?

        @paulg Try @thelistapp. It's a great longform mix that cuts out some of the stuff about Twitter that's negative.

        @paulg what if it's an inherent problem with people, not Twitter?

      @paulg Aren't the problems with Twitter doomed to plague any similar service after significant scaling?

        @paulg that future network remains to be built. Based on our unique identities. Mobile first. Snapchat and others point the way.

        @paulg wonder if the emergence of @anchor and explosion in video apps like @periscopeco and @AppMeerkat point towards what it looks like.

        0 replies 0 retweets 1 like
      3. David Aron Levine ‏@davealevine Feb 27

        @paulg some combination of the simplicity and public nature of Twitter and the multi-media nature of the others might be the way.
