Quite the lineup tonight for the monthly DWeb event. I'm going to get to this one.
----
If you are anywhere near San Francisco tonight, 1/21 at 6 PM, be sure to join us for the DWeb SF Meet Up at the Internet Archive, focusing on decentralized social media. Twitter's Jack Dorsey announced he's forming the Blue Sky team to help build and use decentralized social media protocols--and they will be on hand to meet the Decentralized Web community.
Up this month:
Evan Henshaw-Plath, founder of , a decentralized social media platform built on as an open protocol. It's ready for test flights and it's founder, also known as calls Planetary the "humane alternative to Facebook."
Edward West, founder & CEO of , an app that combines group management, messaging and collaboration built on .
Matthew Hodgson, founder of the open source protocol upon which the chat app runs.
Burak Nehbit, founder & CEO of a
peer-to-peer network of self-governing, interest-based communities who
elect their own moderators. It's inspired by Usenet and Reddit, but
unlike them, it also attempts to provide not only a platform, but also
high-quality discussion on an ongoing basis.
