- nologic01 3y agoIts got people's attention. Both techies and heavy users of social media are aware of it, and maybe experiment with it. That is in essence the major win. Its no longer obscure. In the reactions you can see all the typical traits of a new thing that comes to shake up a stagnant status quo. From naive excitement to cynical disbelief. When somethig is doomed and wins at the same time you could say its a time of high drama. Not bad for single person's work...
