A lot of people are confused about wtf this is.
I don't blame them. I put out there a partially implemented vision.
But the vision isn't really new -- it's a turnback to 2002, and what UserLand would have done if we had continued pushing, which we did not.
At the time we had a product named Radio UserLand that was an integrated writing and reading platform, very user friendly, and it worked, all done with RSS. It also did podcasting if you can believe that.
So here we are 24 years later. RSS is still RSS. And we still have feed readers and blogging tools, so how does this become a social network?

That's where it's at right now. This is the writing environment. I have yet to show a new reading environment, but that's okay you can use NetNewsWire! It works. I didn't even tell Brent this was coming. Why is that? Because we use standards.
I don't have enough places to fit all the ideas these days. But we have been digging and the pieces seem to fit together just right
