Fledgling social media sites are competing to be the next Twitter as users abandon the legacy platform. These are the frontrunners.
Following the announcement of the app's planned launch, TerrellScreenshot of T2 social's home page.9 full-time and contracted staff. Gabor Cselle, co-founder & CEO is a former Group Product Manager at Twitter. Sarah Oh, Co-Founder, previously was a Human Rights Advisor at Twitter.What people are saying:
Cselle, a former product manager at Twitter, had been imagining an alternative to the bird app for a while when, on November 4, there was a massive swath of layoffs at Twitter, including co-founder Sarah Oh. "I was like, 'maybe now's the time,'" Cselle told Insider, who reached out and partnered with Oh on their new build."And the idea T2 is to build initially with a small community from the ground up with a familiar format that has constraints — I think constraints fuel creativity. It's short, just like the Tick Tock style video stuff is looking at."
What will differentiate the beta-testing T2 from Twitter when it officially launches is a focus on community safety that has been built into the app from its foundation, the co-founders told Insider, instead of relying on reactionary policies.Usually the safety has come after something bad happens," Oh told Insider.
The T2 website name will change so as not to evoke Terminator associations, Cselle told Insider. The app has a waitlist over five digits long, though the co-founder did not specify how many users are waiting for their handle to be approved to start posting.
