Social Networks, Not Social Media. Tom Watson:

Glass may look similar to other services on the surface (there are conventions), but it’s built on fundamentally different principles. For one, we don’t have follower counts. In fact, we don’t show counts at all. When you appreciate a photo, it’s not a performative act broadcast to the larger network; it’s a private acknowledgment to the creator. We emphasize comments and discussion, modeling thoughtful engagement through design and community norms.

I joined Glass a couple of months ago and I found a community with profound love or photography. I believe this community gathers on Glass because photography is front and centre in the app’s design, instead of attention-grabbing design patterns you’ll find on literally any other platform. Glass is a very rare exception in the landscape, one well worth supporting.
