For what its worth, I'm already on Libertree. The problem as
I see it is that its not very compatible with stuff, so
rather than socially connected you have a sense of being
othered and placing yourself amongst likeminded souls but
who aren't connected to those more 'ordinary'..<br>

In that case I don't understand your previous email.
What was the<br>
"problem" that "geeks" solved for you in the late 90s?<br>

<div>I'm sorry, reading my e-mail back it is ambiguous:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> For me, geeks already solved this problem in
the late 90s. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I'm saying is that the solution to this
problem is already a solved problem. You can do this
today with open technologies with previously created
protocols. </div>

<div>My friends and I actually ran this set-up during
the early 00s. We all had our own blogs with RSS and
that's how we did things in Widnes. My site still
exists (it's just never hit! :) )</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then Facebook delivered an application that had a
much better fit and finish and everyone went there. Me
included, eventually.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Even though the 00s stuff wasn't as good a user it
experience, it did fundamentally work and is more free
than tying yourself to a particular provider. Even the
free solutions like Diaspora.</div>
