Wouldn't this be better titled "Start Looking At Code" instead of "Stop Googling"?

I mean, you just aren't going to keep your friends from forwarding your messages. There's a difference between privacy and trust. Software can't predict when your best friend is going to turn against you for emotional or social reasons.

That's a donation, not a fee, and this isn't a business model, it's a perk for making a donation. If you look at similar projects on sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter, that's how crowd-sourced funding works, with perks provided to peopl

It's really quite simple. Once an open protocol is established and popularized, then social networks are just software that connect into the distributed network. Think of it in terms of SMTP and e-mail. Mail providers come and go, but nob

They could turn evil some day and betray us all. If an Appleseed node turns evil, they'll probably take the data of, maybe, 100,000 or a million users with them. When Facebook turns evil (some would say saying "when" isn't necessary), 50

I'll remind you that what you're addressing here is the protocol, which is not dependent on Appleseed. Appleseed is the platform, and is basically protocol agnostic. There are a lot of projects working together on a common protocol, inclu

First off, your feed won't provide a full copy of your data, just a summary and a link. Other protocols may not work that way, though, but that's how Appleseed's protocol works. If access is rescinded, that user loses access to view that

That's a good question, without a simple answer, but here goes: Right now, we're using something I call QuickSocial: http://opensource.appleseedproject.org/quicksocial/ This protocol is very much in flux, and being modified regularly. An

To answer your first question, I did email them back in May offering help but never received a response. I had a chance to catch up with them at the Federated Social Web Conference, and spoke with a lot of similar projects and we're all in

Very good response, I agree that the base functionality should exist without Javascript, and I would assume that most who disable it are willing to forego bells and whistles, but will still use your site if the basics work. This also ties

I much prefer frameworks using with PHP, I find the language frustrating without one. I'm currently using the Appleseed framework, but I've also used Joomla, Drupal and CodeIgniter (my preference, besides Appleseed) for recent professional
