"Social networks became “social media,” which, at first, meant receiving content from people you chose to hear from. But in the quest to maximize engagement, the timeline of friends and people you picked to follow turned into a free-for-all battle for attention."

Ev Williams starts a new company: Mozi

We've seen this deconstruction of social platforms (notably Path) time and time again, but I wonder how this unique take will land. 

"The primary value proposition of Mozi (today) is simple: It lets you know when you’re going to be in the same place (city or event) as someone you know. And the goal is straightforward: to connect more often—and in person—with the people you care about."

Having just completed a significant set of travel dates, I would have really enjoyed this tool. FC was helpful (you know who you are!) but it wasn't all-encompassing of my various networks. Mozi's worth a shot.
