It's powerful and it puts that power in your hands, not in those of large corporate entities.
That sounds interesting! How could I learn more about that?

What's your company?
- johnisgood 5y agoYeah... How do I get to choose what I share? How would it work for HN or Twitter? Do they have to support this? Where should they start to be able to support this? Again, how am I going to choose what I share? Who exactly has to implement it? I really need some details. If we actually have to rely on Twitter implementing something like this, then I do not have high hopes, as they most likely would not want to implement something like this. :)
