Nova Spivack wrote a blog post reflecting to Jason Calacanis’ announcement regarding his retirement from blogging, in which Nova Spivack describes why his blogging evolved and is moving into a better medium which he defines “interest networking”.
Nova Spivack wrote about “interest networking” in a blog post earlier in July: “Interest networks are about leveraging collective intelligence to discover and share great content around your interests -- they are the next evolution of social media (discussion forums, wikis, blogs, social news aggregation, and social bookmarking). Interest networks are for making sense of information and discovering new information that matters to you.”
Nova Spivack, is the CEO and Founder of Radar Networks which introduced Twine – a new service that helps you organize, share and discover information about your interests, with networks of like-minded people. He explains how he uses Twine:
“I now use Twine as my main place for authoring and sharing content on the Web. (I also use Twine as my main place for keeping up with my many interests. The Twine community does a great job of scouring the Web to find the content that I want to know about. Generally if there is an article that matters to me, it shows up in Twine very quickly. I no longer have to read as many RSS feeds. This is the power of collective intelligence at its best.)”
He believes that “Blogs will continue of course, but for those of us who do a lot of blogging and online bookmarking, social networking, online discussions, and social media sharing -- blogs just aren't productive enough anymore.” He also believes that “an increasing amount of activity is going to move off of today's blogs and into a new kind of social media environment. I call these next generation services, interest networks, and my company is building one of the first: Twine.”
Nova Spivack says, unlike Jason Calacanis, he hasn't left blogging: his blogging evolved and is moving into a better medium which he defines “interest networking”. “Jason wants to go back to old fashioned email mailing lists, but I'm moving forward into something even better than blogs.”
At the end of his latest blog post, Nova Spivack invites Calacanis to Twine:
“I agree with Jason -- blogging isn't good enough. The first wave of social media is ending -- for some because they couldn't cope with the overload, for others because they want a better medium. I believe interest networks are what's next and I hope to make Twine into the best place to network around interests on the Web. So don't give up blogging or move to email lists, Jason. Just move to a better platform. See you in Twine!”
