β15 years ago, I wrote an article about the rise of a more social web for Huff Post.
βAt the time, Facebook was updating its News Feed and bringing Spotify, Zynga, etc. into it. Google was also launching Google+. Obviously, one changed the internet. The other validated it, even if it didn't pay off.
βIf you think about that shift, we stopped going to the internet to browse our top 10 sites, and, instead, Facebook became the front door to the internet as things collapsed into a feed.
βIt changed how we consumed news, media, and entertainment, which meant it also disrupted the incumbent world order = great swell for startups.
βThese days, I'm obsessed with this same opportunity as we move into a more agentic internet. If you've been trying to build something but you're fighting against entrenched user behaviours with a competitor or feel it's just too hard to go up against a giantβ¦well, maybe you have a secret advantage.β
