#22I get this feeling there’s a perceived opportunity of perpetual innovation in social media space. I don’t want to say “everything that can be invented has already been invented”. But I don’t think that underlying technology and society has changed so much there’s going to be a thing that’s going to rival twitter or fb in the next couple years.

#23First time I visited Threads. I thought it was only available using an app and outside EU?

#24Curiously, Facebook announced buying Instagram a few weeks after this email.
And Instagram, under Facebook's leadership, apparently adopted Renren's "strong culture of cloning things" to the letter: first targeting Snapchat (2015-16), and now targeting Twitter...
Or as someone replied below: > "I personally am pretty in favor of this approach in life generally... I would love to be far more aggressive and nimble in copying competitors at the interface / last mile level"

I'm not so sure. Technology is one thing, but finding the right format for social networks may take many iterations. I find Twitter to be extremely toxic for instance, but there's some value to it. There must be a way to improve this initial idea. Keep the good, and minimize trolls and hate speech, and encourage people to stay courteous. Same thing for Facebook.

> everything that can be invented has already been invented
From a technology perspective I think this is broadly correct - these are essentially just crud apps, there’s nothing new. (i know there's plenty of cool tech around scaling it to billions of users, just not in the core functionality)
But in addition to being technology products, these apps are entertainment products. And as long as people have the capacity to get bored, there will be continued opportunity to innovate on the entertainment experience. It doesn’t even have to be novel, just recycle some app ideas from ten years ago. I’m sure vine will be back soon.

Even here, Meta is famous for moving very fast compared to rest of FAANG outside Netflix.
