I've seen many people say that noise.cash is the replacement for Twitter, or the Twitter than we all wanted. In some part I agree and I have made that statement myself. But on reflection it's my opinion that this is not the case. While noise.cash is like Twitter it seems to me that we are using it more like Tumblr.
Tumblr is a microblogging platform that is a cross between Twitter and Blogger. It allows for short form posting of images and links etc while also allowing for long form posts. I loved Tumblr back in the day but the reason I ditched it is the same reason I recently ditched Instagram. My feed was full of junk posts from people I neither subscribed to or wanted to see. This forced reading of junk posts ruined the platform for me.
noise.cash has given me what I loved about Tumblr but removed the things I hate about it. They've even tried to make it harder for people to make junk accounts, although this caused a furore. The fact they want to make noise.cash bollocks free is a great thing in my not so humble opinion.
I do have a few suggestions to make this platform better.
1: Embedding / Previewing - It would be great to post a link to YouTube, 3Speak, etc and have it show up in your noise.cash post. This way readers don't have to follow links to other sites to view the video. It would also be good to have a preview of links so people could decide if they want to follow it. I link to articles I've read and make comments on those articles. It would be cool if my readers could get a preview of the original article without going to the other site.
2: Viewing those who like or renoise - I can see who tips and that is cool. But it would be nice to see those who renoise or like my posts. This way I can check them out and see if they have content that suits me. In this respect, we could build better contacts.
3: An iOS and Android app. This way it can be easier to make posts wherever we are. Have the ability to upload photos from our devices.
4: Share buttons so that when we are browsing we could click a button on the page we’re at and then make a post. On iOS and Android we could use the share panes which send us to the app. On Windows and Mac these could be extensions in the browser we are using.
I know noise.cash is only in Alpha at the moment but these would make a great platform if implemented.
