Pony
Online communication sucks. Email is for work. Social media is a nightmare hellscape full of trolls, glib responses, petty flamewars and a feed that moves too quick to keep up. Pony is a new conversational platform that will deliver convos from your favorite thought leaders and friends to you once a day. And you can follow along and even comment, but again just once a day. Anyone can start their own convo, build their brand, highlight news media stories that they think deserve longer than Twitter’s one day attention span. The idea is to make online communication fit into our timeline and to consume and respond on our own time, instead of us having to desperately race to keep up.
Pony’s one daily drop of content is what will set it apart from other ways we communicate online and will create a space where thoughtful and reflective discussion can happen online.
