    How do you mean? I think of Moments are formalizing something that Twitter does well: conversations/stories around topics of current interest. Sure, you'll engage your connections …

    I'm expecting somewhere way down the road, scientists will unlock the secrets to prolonging our lives for nearly forever. They'll stop the telomeres from degrading, come up with wa…

    I don't know this market well. But I can suggest three tests that you should apply to any potential niche you're considering. "Jobs-to-be-done" (JTBD) is useful analytical tool her…
