Instead of a Twitter alternative for conservatives, there needs to be a Twitter alternative run by conservatives for everyone. Make sure the algorithms stay clean and fair, according to rules/guidelines that are clear and available to everyone who uses or views the site.

It ain't rocket science. And it can't be set up as an echo chamber exclusively for like-thinking people. It needs to reach out to everyone and allow misguided people to have the opportunity to receive a conservative or libertarian perspective.

I do believe you're right with some quibbles, Two Kids's Dad. Private echo chambers should in fact be included but not as primary characteristics of the service's public face. The larger memetic ecology, naturally, should be governed by sophisticated reputation moderation algorithms. Nonetheless, your points stand tall. Retreating entirely into a well of echoes is a recipe for failure. This topic bears further thought. ^^;

(With apologies for overwriting your carefully chosen HTML emphasis tags in a simplistic blockquote style -- I'm sloshed and lack the patience for the painstaking editing work required to accurately reflect said HTML tags in a blockquoted passage.)
