I think this is your best piece yet, but it doesn't do what Ben does so well, which is describe how the aggregators' strategy might evolve. What do you think Google will do, for example, to preserve revenue in this changing landscape of losing ad eyeballs? What would you do if you were in the CEO seat at Google?

I'm really curious about Discord for social, because literally _no one_ I know uses it here in the UK for anything social. is it a US thing? Or is it people who are on fringes/deep into gaming, breaking out into social use?

Hasn't LinkedIn kind of maintained 2 & 3, but in a work specific context? Which maybe feels safer, armed by the suit of a corporate identity...

Is Glov.er available too? Maybe you can do him a 2-for-1 deal, surely he can't say gambiNO to that

ah no sorry, I meant pinyin when you click the character, right now it's just a translation of that character. I don't want permanently visible pinyin of the line

Hi guys, just tried this as an intermediate Chinese learner. Really love it overall. I have an IRL tutor as well and it's very interesting to compare. Happy to give feedback offline but high-level so far: 1. Adding pinyin for Chinese words when clicking would be great, and adding 'word' rather than character-only clickable dictionary, e.g. from Pleco. That's a Chinese specific issue 2. Harder, but when I say something wrong, pause, and re-state, if it could fix my answer with what I said and delete the wrong bit that would be insanely cool. As that's what a teacher hears, the self-correcting is a good sign

interesting. I'm curious why they bother going after so many small developers. There must be some kind of negative effect long-term there on their perception in the tech ecosystem etc. Bored in-house lawyers?
