Episode description

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," I take you on a nostalgic trip back to the internet’s wild west days—think 1992, when I first hopped online. Back then, it was all about peer-to-peer vibes, no middlemen, just pure connection. Fast forward 30+ years, and we’re drowning in intermediaries. I riff on how timing is everything for startup success—great ideas flop if the market’s not ready, and founders either pivot or sink. Then I dust off a forgotten gem: Third Voice, a crazy-cool tool from the late ‘90s that let you slap comments—like digital graffiti—on any website via a sidebar. FedEx page? Boom, rants and raves right there, hosted off-site so the big dogs couldn’t touch ‘em. It tanked amid controversy and lawsuits, but I’m vibing on bringing it back. Imagine unbiased reviews next to Amazon’s shady five-stars—Third Voice could cut through the noise. A blast from the past worth a reboot!---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: ⁠https://10xyou.us⁠Get AIDAILY every weekday. ⁠https://aidaily.us⁠My blog: ⁠https://thinkfuture.com
