Daft Social

DaftSocial. What a name. It’s a social network where you post via email, but you can only use the subject line.

I love the simplicity: No text formatting. You can post images but you have to upload them first and include the link in your post. There’s no way to follow people or reply to posts but you can subscribe to someone’s RSS feed. Doesn’t this sound more like a blog than a social network? But who’s splitting hair?

For a social network, why not allow following people and send a digest via email once a day? A static list of content that doesn’t grow. Slow down social media to the cadence of a daily newspaper.
