amps

thirdweb has been cooking lately 

nice to see them lean into farcaster 

i’ve especially appreciated them using amps as a distribution tool to give their announcements an extra lift. and it seems to be working

been playing around with amps to grow @thirdweb - this felt significant to me for a couple reasons: 

when I was 18 I used to build twitter meme pages

one day twitter rugged and suspended all of them because one of my growth strategies was to buy retweets off other pages at scale

this went against their terms of service for some reason and without communication or explanation, they closed down pages I had built with 500k+ followers. (google twitter purge)

seeing an app build the same feature natively into the platform is a paradigm shift. 

the future of social will be letting people do and build what they want on top of the network. no arbitrary rules that put a cap on creativity. 

amps is cool because it 

a) acts as a push notification to a group of followers that we've posted
b) recasts to their followers for an engagement boost 

not sure how long the efficacy will last, but love seeing this kind of experimentation

here's a 10 year old interview I did with vice about how we used to build on twitter, and which ultimately led to the suspension of the pages.
