Evolving Perception of Social Products
The podcast examines how the perception of social products is shifting, suggesting that the current landscape, which seems oversaturated, is actually primed for innovation. Anu Adluru discusses her belief that traditional social media platforms are becoming less effective, leading to an opportunity to create social utilities that prioritize real interactions over simply broadcasting information. This distinction emphasizes the potential of products that facilitate social engagement without requiring users to establish pre-existing networks or friend groups. Examples like Partiful illustrate this new approach, as they allow users to interact and share experiences meaningfully while bypassing the constraints of conventional social media structures.
