In its ideal form, a microblog style site could literally provide an online version of a collective consciousness of society. It would be a live feed of normal people's thoughts.
Except in reality it's porn, smug posting, corporate advertising, vitriol, and propaganda all fueled by algorithms written to keep mofos scrolling.

It was good for two things: on the ground news, and speaking directly to businesses to resolve customer complaints.
It really pisses me off that companies respond to Twitter posts but will ignore tickets and emails in their own support system.
Porn, smug posting, and vitriol? Sounds like collective consciousness of society to me.
Would the collective consciousness actually be interesting to read?
