You are describing the Internet. Self-run web sites, blogs, and instant messaging systems:
1. allow you to fine-tune who sees what,
2. do not require extra accounts (save comment systems, etc.),
3. are not tied to any one provider or company and thus will last for a long time.
- davi 17y agoHow do you see the internet providing built-in ACLs? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_control_list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_control_list Even if it did, your assertion is like equating assembly to a high level language. Just because you theoretically can do anything in assembly that you can in a high level language doesn't mean you would want to. I am trying to specify a set of attributes for a non-existent tool that would let me more fluidly publish what I write and create. ---- edit: if anybody reading this would care to explain why I am getting downvoted & the parent is getting upvoted so much, I would appreciate it.
- tbrownaw 17y agoThe internet provides something like ACLs using something similar to a password capability model: I post stuff as "tbrownaw" or "Timothy Brownawell" and anyone can know it's me, but I also have logins to various message boards under pseudonyms, which you can only tie back to me if I tell you.
- davi 17y agoThanks. That is indeed an inverted form of what I was wishing for, and I didn't get the idea from the initial response to my post.
