Why Ramblefeed?

I remember when Twitter was a place to find interesting content, and less a place to find shocking content. Now nuanced policy arguments have been been replaced with viral slogans. Good content is still out there, but it takes patience to find it and then more patience to relate something you're reading today with something you read last week or last month.

Bookmarks in browsers haven't kept up. They're easy to create, but hard to curate and harder to add insights on top of. Why did I bookmark that again?

The best insights and learning come when our ideas are challenged. So its important to be able to share our ideas and have others react to them in some way. Not for notability or comparing their popularity with others, but for others to challenge and enrich them.

There are other note taking applications for taking notes during your class or meeting. Ramblefeed isn't that. There are other places where people share links (but not many, and they're stagnant). There are other places where people share catchy "slogans" in a popularity context or for marketing.

Why is this going to be better? I'm not sure yet, but I believe it can be for some of us.
