The whole idea of the town square is that it belongs to the town. No one should be able to buy it. And honestly, they can’t.

Twitter isn’t really the town square, any more than Facebook is or MySpace was.

We are the town square. It goes where we go. No one can buy that.

@slack2thefuture I think we are the town, but the square is a shared bit of infrastructure and the community that thrives around it. We can have cafes and galleries and parks jutting onto public space that we all enjoy or it can be like those private parks in the financial district in NYC that you can only hang around at the discretion of the owner
