Bret Taylor tried to fuse all social media types into one open [friend]feed [1]. Facebook killed it and walled the garden (+ Made him CTO) .

So who will keep that vision alive ? Could distributed social networks also aggregate for us ?

Bret Taylor tried to fuse all office documents types into one (mobile-ready) doc [2]. Salesforce asphyxiated it (+ Made him co-CEO).

So who kept it alive ? Notion leaned more towards DBs to augment its pages. Excel/Sheets are just too established. Coda is "spreadsheeting" its DB. A nice angle.

What is next Bret ?
