Lotta talk about replacing Twitter.

The better dialogue is how to get people to re-evaluate how they engage with the internet.

Personally, I'm convinced of two things:

- You can't 1:1 replace Twitter unless it's a similar top-down walled garden.

- Most people probably shouldn't want a Twitter replacement, since Twitter is bad for us.

Instead of finding/molding/creating a replacement, we should encourage people (and ourselves!) to focus on what they like most about internet interaction.

@chrisabides Thanks for this, Christopher. I was explaining to a friend that I've always been drawn to internet interaction but have never figured out to engage with (what is for me) quality without all the extra garbage, and it has long left me frustrated. All of the recent dialog - and options that I'm discovering - are helping me tremendously in this search.
