BeReal, Poparazzi, Clubhouse, and many other social media apps have popped up recently to fill in gaps left by Instagram, TikTok, and Snap. Have you tried them? Do you like them? Do you wonder what it takes to build the next big social media platform? 

Based on our experiences using and building social media apps, we share:

• trends in social media, 
• the difference between authentic vs spontaneous content,
• frameworks for analyzing different aspects of social media platforms, 
• considerations and challenges when building new social media platforms
• whether we'd enjoy using BeReal and Poparazzi,
• the kinds of content that help us feel the most meaningfully connected to our friends, 
• innovation we'd like to see in the social media space.
