Bulletproof! What could possibly go wrong with this concept?

#63So is there just the one feed? I mean how do you browse what’s posted? You need to know exactly which account you want to follow?

#64Shouldn't an “Anti-Social” social network, however minimal, be NO Social Networks?
Even more extreme.
'Antisocial' means against others. "Antagonistic, hostile, or unfriendly toward others; menacing"
'Asocial' means reclusive or unwilling to be social, but isn't necessarily antagonistic

#65I love the technical aesthetic of this, but is there a "network" part of it at all? If not, I think I'd rather just self-host something similar and get the same experience without the risk of the service holding all my posts dying or trying to invasively monetize later.

#67Posterous introduced this 'Post by Email' concept. Really loved the simplicity of it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterous
Oh man, the nostalgia I just had. I used a Peek to post to Posterous.

hard to monetize

I'm sure others allowed posting by email before. BrightKite was a fantastic social network that was location-based, and you could post via email. My friends and I still miss it... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightkite
Wordpress had/has this capability, too.

#70Super cool. Reading the subject-line-only requirement, I love it, but the nerd in me is like, "just only accept the text/plain MIME-type!". But, yeah either way very cool B)
