From DHH, "No more platforms please":
Everything just scrolls by, because everything is just mixed together. Everything from everyone all the time is too much. It's unnatural and it's unhealthy. We weren't built to listen to hundreds if not thousands of people every day. Tools that let individuals publish, but do not seek to amplify them or force them viral, give us that natural, human scale. Newsletters. Podcasts. Small-scale forums. Yes, yes, yes.
More platforms? No, no, no.
From Kim Landwehr's blog, a spot-on take on Facebook:
Facebook is like an invasive weed that puts its roots everywhere and the only way to get rid of it is to kill it
Oh yes.
