Today, two former Twitter employees announced the creation of a new social platform, Spill, designed as an alternative to the bird app catering to “culture drivers” and serving as a refuge for creators from Black Twitter.
Alphonzo “Phonz” Terrell and DeVaris Brown told TechCrunch that Spill is intended to be “a real-time conversational platform that puts culture first” when it launches in January.
Terrell served as Twitter’s global head of social and editorial for three years — until last month, when he was among the thousands of employees laid off following Elon Musk’s takeover. Brown worked on machine learning as a product manager lead at Twitter for over a year but pivoted in 2020 to create the Series A startup Meroxa, a real-time data service.
