Not quitting Social Media: But Going Back to an "the Artisanal internet."
This article from #wired, also got me relooking at #indieweb and Micro.blog. In essence, don’t quit social all together, but “curate your way to a better social media” diet. Key quote: This vision of decentralization is more back-to-the-land than blockchain. If portals to the digital world are so exploitative, it asks, why not curate our own? For consumers, this means forgoing convenience to control your ingredients: Read newsletters instead of News Feeds. Continue reading →

Who Owns the Digital You (Part 1 of 3)
“Twenties and Thirties it was the role of government, Fifties and Sixties it was civil rights. The next two decades it’s gonna be privacy. I’m talking about the Internet. I’m talking about cell phones. I’m talking about health records and who’s gay and who’s not. And moreover, in a country born on the will to be free, what could be more fundamental than this?” — Sam Seaborne, The West Wing (Season 1, Episode 9, 1999)< Continue reading →

Here was my questions to @macgenie for her Micro Monday Micro.blog interview with @menton….
Are these features on s roadmap?
- Ability to choose on a post by post basis which social platforms you syndicate to?
(Or if you wish leave it a default but being given the choice at each post publishing?)
-
Visual post editing in addition to Markdown?
-
Importing contacts and social users from other networks to discover them on micro.blog?
-
Medium.com now allows us to export and download our content - would be great at some point to be able to import those to micro.blog
-
Does FB API allow for posting into specific groups you belong to? If so posting from micro.blog into those groups might be a useful feature.

"Large companies aren’t good homes for beloved services..."
Good thoughts here by Colin Devroe on the issue of trusting even giant companies iwth your digital self: Large companies are not good homes for beloved services. We are living in an age of the internet where if a service isn’t at hundreds-of-millions of users and throwing off tons of profit they simply aren’t worth the time for companies the size of Verizon or Google. Both of these companies have enormous cemeteries in their backyards of things they’ve built or bought and shuttered regardless of their usage or loyal users…. Continue reading →
