I think he’s summed it up really nicely with this tweet. The networks that ultimately see success are those that can provide value to empower the community towards new social interactions and new types of information rather than just amplifying everyone’s individual voice.
Tags: twitterThe reason social networks don’t deliver on their basic promise is that no one wants a friend who just talks about himself all the time.
