twigg

I have tons of respect and admiration for those working on a replacement for Posts. Even started working on one myself but I haven't figured out a real answer to the longevity problem, and to introduce another place that goes away is just not fair to the community.

There is a suitable business model, the design niche is the tricky part. Vertical or horizontal growth

ICP: Agencies and HR departments. Need a sales strategy, PLG can only take you so far

Been spending too much time thinking about social networks and why spaces like this one are always short lived. It's such an interesting problem because traction can kill the space if there's not an underlying business model underneath the network.

What’s the business? Who’s the ICP? Where is the value creation???

I'm unconvinced that Bluesky is a suitable replacement. I've been there for awhile and, simply put, I don't want Posts style content next to the chaos of the the world. It disincentivizes me to post because it's so easy to look like you've failed to read the global room.

Dribbble, LinkedIn, et al. the 'professional network' has a legitimate business model, but have to be willing to do the dirty work. Was hoping they could get over the hump because from a design standpoint they nailed it with the younger crowd. Polymark, Contra, all miss the mark

Couldn’t agree more. Building twigg.social for the long haul, it won’t be going anywhere. Will defo share more around this when I get a chance, and explain the longterm vision ✨
