#SocialGraph3.0 - There is a scenario where a new ecosystem emerges, providing technology companies an opportunity to create products with significant value. The general concept is described here by Musk: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1588081971221053440. What he is alluding is the Social Graph. For about a decade, the social graph has been locked behind "walled gardens". A shift in policy that opens up the entire Social Graph to developers, would create an entirely new developer ecosystem, resulting in an entirely new set of capabilities, and an entirely new class of technology products, based on Social Graph inference. One way this may happen is new ownership at Twitter renews interest in supporting 3rd party developers, and offering the Social Graph to the public (e.g. Firehose).

Great to see Social Graph work continuing despite access restrictions. @Matthew OMeara I have expertise in Social Graph based inference on multi petabyte-scale Twitter datasets (funded by YC10/Tim Connors/Chris Sacca as well as 3 other companies). Happy to talk ideas if you are interested. Best, Ben
