We dig into the news of the day instead of a scheduled topic on today’s podcast. This news was about Twitter, and what is going on in the social media landscape. We have a fantastic 2030 style conversation, not specifically about Twitter, or even its new owner, but social media and its needs, how people think about social media, what societal purpose it serves, and how we construct the back ends to support those systems. We talked about alternative platforms and historical platforms, as well as objectives and benefits of a social media platform including content moderation and who pays for it. A fascinating conversation for everybody who's consuming social media.
