Ask HN: this social network reaches 2 billion users
I work on a system which uses your imap-mailbox as your social-network-server. But it's more than an new mailclient. It displays your mails as a news-stream, organizes images as a photoalbum, sends comments and likes as mails.
Sounds interesting?
- factorialboy 14y agoYes, URL?

- marssaxman 14y agoSounds interesting indeed. And sensible, and a reasonable future-proof distributed architecture...
- aya72 14y agoThe problem with showing this tools is that noone will enter his email-credentials on my site, or would you do that? So the only way is to make the source public so everyone can install it on his own server. It's not like Diaspora where you can create an anonymous account to test the system.

- aya72 14y agoWhat would you use SMS for? The main problem with SMS is, that someone has to pay for. You thought of using SMS for inbound or outbound?
