Corporate vs. Personal Web
(Blogging is ‘nerdy’ again)
Walled Gardens
- Little incentive for interconnectivity
- Distributed identity
- Loss of data sovereignty
Silos
- Centralized
- Commercially motivated
- Restrictive terms of use
- Exploitation rights
Site Deaths
- Uncontrollable development
- Provider change is complex
- Risk of data loss
I don't care about federation,
I care about my content,
I care about my friends.
Independence
- Autonomous identity
- Interconnected with friends
