Idle Mulling Of The #UX #UI Of A ‘Twitter Killer’

If I was going to design a startup to “kill” Twitter and maybe disrupt content distribution online, the below is what would be my stepping off point. That’s pretty much my vision for how to do it, only updated significantly for modern social media users needs.

So, that’s my vision. I wish someone would take me up on it, but because I have no money, can’t code and don’t want to learn, no one ever will. But I feel there is still a minor window of opportunity to do such a startup. I wish I could get some traction on this. It would be so cool if I could.

There are some pretty big issues that would have to be address. Chief amongst them being how would you manage an enormous amount of people using the service. The only thing I can think of is you would limit who could actually post to the service in some way. You would have to earn the right to do that.

A lot of people probably wouldn’t like that, but that’s the only way you you base a service on the old concepts of Usenet and have it work. But one issue is, I think the below is what people actually want Twitter to be. They want a real discussion platform. Which, sadly, Twitter is not.
