“I just don’t really care” sums up why all well-meaning attempts I have seen to switch Web 2.0 (the social Web) to open source have failed. Web 1.0 has Wordpress, Magento and a slew of other things. But for Web 2.0 people expect a growing number of real-time services, slick and easy to use, these days they all added audio chatrooms and video calls etc. Everything has to be super reliable, etc. It would take years to build a suite of components (chatrooms, events, managing subscriptions and notifications etc.) that could rival Facebook / Telegram / WhatsApp. I would like to think we did it at Qbix. But we are still playing catch-up to the big boys. User adoption will only come when something is good enough to be used as what’s currently out there. But once it comes, it has so many advantages: host where you want, configure components how you want. If you’re interested, look at the links in my profile.
