"Lately, we’ve been wondering if there is an end to this pattern on the Internet and mobile. We think it is possible that an open data platform, in which users ultimately control their data and the networks they choose to participate in, could be the thing that undoes this pattern of winner takes most." Urbit?
- jacquesm 11y agoUrbit is neat but ultimately not practical. It would have to be something drastically simpler for end users and packaged in an extremely clever way. Not everybody is born to administrate the systems that hold their data. A federated social network that gains sufficient traction to warrant further development would be a major achievement. (And if such a thing were to come to fruit it should definitely worry linkedin, facebook, twitter and the remnants of g+).
