I'm at like 70(SN)/30 but I shouldn't count. A lot of my time on either is fun but it's also kind of what I'm supposed to be doing for work lol.
how hard would it be to make a twitter like version of SN?
reply
Pretty easy. The hard part would be getting users on it.
I was discussing this with someone earlier today. Twitter-like social networks require very large amounts of people to work relative to a site like SN. On SN we are all sharing 21 posts, like we are around a campfire as @dk says. This is valuable even for a handful of people. On Twitter we are all spread out and have to find each other individually; when there are more people it's easier to find someone you think is interesting, but hard if there are few people.

I like the campfire analogy and that’s what I love SN over Twitter. Long may it remain IMO

I hope someday the infrastructure/tooling that powers SN could let 1000s of campfires bloom.
