Twitter starts testing 'Fleets,' its version of Stories
I wonder why social media in general enforces everything to be ephemeral. Sure, Stories are specific about it, but even regular old posts in Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are very hard to track and consume. They are there, you can search if you are looking for something specific, a Facebook resurface some old memory for you when an algorithm decides it should. But they are not made to be a memory repository for users. Why is that?<p>I wonder this because I am building a social-network-y site (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quidsentio.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quidsentio.com</a>) that&#x27;s pretty much memory-focused, I even position it as a journal. I wonder if I am missing some obvious connection between hiding users memories and being a successful social network site.
