as far as email being social media's secret i disagree to some extent. Alooot of people disable email notification on most ''Social media'' type sites.

As far as the article goes i really didnt understand its objective. It felt like i was reading an intro to something interesting and then it ended.

it's a blog post, not article. the idea is to spur discussion. we've got 80 comments so far on the post. so it achieved its goals.

i don't totally understand why people choose to discuss the posts on AVC here at hacker news when there is a much larger discussion on AVC

I prefer to discuss a post on a site owned by someone other than the author of the post because that way, the author cannot spike comments that interfere with the author's communications goals and self-interest.
