“For now, I’m operating a network for people I work with, and it’s all open for anyone to read. That’s also one of the ideas I want to explore, something I call a “Fractional horsepower social network,” stealing a very good idea from Steve Jobs.

I don’t want to turn the world over to a startup, we’ve done that and have a pretty good idea of where it goes. I want lots of small ones that have a very strong basis to be connected together in as many ways as people can imagine.”

Twitter “…invites social creatures like us to build social norms and expectations over the public commons and specific affordances that Twitter created” Mar 2009

Like the Krell did before they turned off the lights and went to sleep, long ago on Altair IV.

@mamund 🧵Social Software Affordances

Explaining Twitter in 2009 was *much* more fun

"It is a sense of place, not space, which makes it appropriate to dance at a Grateful Dead concert, but not at a Cambridge college high table; to be naked in the bedroom, but not in the street; and to sit at our windows, peering out, rather than at other people's windows, peering in. Place, not space, frames appropriate behaviour."

Soft networks — what if, instead of building for scale, we built for connection?

What if you just built software for someone you care for?

Reimagining social software through exploratory design.
