Make a website where each user has an RSS feed and posts/reposts stuff to that, mainly links to things they've found interesting. "Following" someone means subscribing to their RSS feed. That'd be federated out of the box.
- thinkingemote 3y agoThat was the secret of Google reader. Being able to subscribe to friends feeds. Social networking based on RSS.
- harkinian 3y agoI was thinking, someone must've tried this before. Didn't know Google Reader was that someone.
- mos_basik 3y agoWow. Didn't know it could do that. I showed up to the internet party around 2011, a little late for my age, so I was still getting my legs and kind of missed "being there" for a few events, like Megaupload going down and Google Reader getting killed. I'm honestly starting to get a little stunned at the number of number of times I see people say "yeah, Google Reader could do [this-or-that]".
- harkinian 3y agoI was around then. Never knew anyone who used Google Reader, though. Megaupload going down, now that was a big event.
