We are happy to announce that our first-ever Unlike Us reader is set to be printed in January 2013.
The reader will cover a facet of social media topics, from activism to theory to decentralization. While we are wrapping up the publication, please enjoy the following guest post by Paul Sulzycki, with his thoughts on ‘walled garden’ vs. decentralized social networks. Breaking down the walls, or how social networking ought to be. by Paul Sulzycki Some history I’ve been on the periphery of the social networking world since deleting my Facebook account three years ago, quietly waiting for a federated option to rise up and shed light on how horrible all our current privatized social networks are. This brief article will concisely wrap up what I’ve found while waiting for The Next Big Thing, and then go into what hopes I have for the future. A caveat first: I know next to nothing about coding and am writing purely from a user experience point of view. http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/unlikeus/2012/12/07/breaking-down-the-walls-by-paul-sulzycki-unlike-us-reader/ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
