It certainly is not ALL about Bipolar or my success in eBay. Catch a glimpse of how I see and think about Photography, fun and sadness. Palatable portions of the 'best' bits of brain news, lifestyle 'power-ups' useful to anal, chuckle city to frown central. I hope to mold this Blog into a 'my' view of life summary. You take the best of the best, or just take it all.

What are some social platforms (past & present) that have inspired you?

I've been using Letterboxd since 2014 or so and love it
I don't use Are.na as much lately but that was a good one
Lines (iykyk) has been a constant inspiration
Once upon a time Flickr was a special place too

Letterboxd 
Arena
Urbit 
Literal 
Oku
Creative Applications
Polywork
Path
Toodeep
Little Red Book
Distant
Tumblr
MySpace

Aesthetically, ux & interaction design wise, Path was unmatched. They had privacy stumbles though

I started on Typepad, and it’s actually still online and live. Literally was just an online diary when I was struggling massively with mental health. IGo and visit it from time to time.

I was heavily into Posterous back in the day: had 5 active blogs covering different topics.
That was a hard one to stomach when it shut down

Chronologically:

mIRC (cool triphop music channels);
Game Forums (got me into photoshop);
Google+ (found a street photo community);
Flickr (same as above);
Skate Forums (was fun until I moved to Germany);
Posts;
Bento (cool community until acquired);
Substack (low effort blog).

I still use Letterboxd to this day! And I really love it 😊

Most of us use several apps for what we consume, and to move that into a single place, we are building a new social platform, a smaller, cozier space based on shared cultural interests: movies, series, books, and music albums.
