I thought so too, especially when he said this I don’t think it’s going to work that way any more. I think that the power has decentralized. Successful people on Twitter basically can fulfill a lot of that same role. You can follow Tim O’Reilly and Robert Scoble and Tim Lee and you can get a pretty good summary of what’s happening around the universe.
But I think Twitter is fundamentally broken in certain regards. You get a lot of mediocre stuff along with that. Everyone thinks they’re interesting. Part of the value of Slashdot was I could rate-limit it down to a few things a day, and still leave you with a sense you have pretty good sense of what was happening during the day. But if you follow 50 people, that is an epic time commitment.Do you see any sites that have the potential to be the next Hacker News?
