Which platforms/apps do you think can be improved?

Why, and what stack would you use?

YouTube?
Twitter?
Google?
Flickr?
FaceBook?
Instagram?

Maybe we can put together a team and take one or two of them on :laughing:

All of them and many more from the base to the end! :smiley:

People using those and many more services are in 2 groups:

  1. Those who are used to be public persons
  2. Those who still don’t know that they are in fact public persons (at least for those willing to pay for their data)

Censorship on just YouTube could be a separate topic and most probably same goes to all of them.

My English dictionary is too poor to point all bad sides of them.

Unfortunately NSA in theory have unlimited budget, so I don’t believe we can do anything to products/services they less or more support, but creating something may be worth for a holy spirit of community. :smiley:

I think Instagram missed it’s point. In my opinion, it’s a social network around visual media, yet they compress the hell out of images and videos. And I would also further decrease the text length limit and introduce a comment limit per person. Nothing annoys me more than people who write whole novels under their post and expect everyone to invest 30 minutes to read that ****.

I would also add a proper web client and not just a read-only one. Giving the resources that FB has, it’s a shame that they don’t provide a proper web client. Unfortunately, it is against the TOS to reverse engineer the mobile API and build an alternative web client. Guess they fear nobody will ever use their **** interface again.

I don’t actually use most of them, never were interesting… ^.^;

Youtube and Google’s search I use most often, the rest of those I rarely if ever touch (generally just if I run across links online).

Reddit I use a lot, the past few/many years since it was bought out and become for-profit it’s gone significantly downhill though. It wouldn’t be hard at all to make a better version (it was just a better and more general Digg, which was just a better and more general Slashdot, lol), and there are other versions out there (though no clue as to their quality), but it’s the significant userbase of reddit right now generating the content that is what is interesting about it.
