How social networks got competitive again

It still doesn’t seem quite real to me, and yet everywhere I look the signs are there: social networks are competitive again.

I've been feeling this recently.

Back in 2007-ish I remember being excited about Web 2.0, my energy slowly withered (for various reasons) after that.

Right now I'm pretty excited about all the things going on and how much better it can be this time around.

No mention of Gab.com, currently the fastest growing social network.
