I’m becoming more and more convinced that the best way for the web to work is for us all to have our islands of identity that are linked via coral reefs and communication channels.
Today has been a heck of a day for the web.
First Twitter.
Now Charter.
Mediums that we normally associate with stability and user interest continue to disappoint and disgust.
I’ve often talked about how I want to “Bring it All Back Home,” but I’m really close to pulling that trigger and relying on tried-and-trusted RSS as the vehicle to deliver that information rather than a walled island that I have to (or will have to) log in to such as Twitter or Facebook.
I don’t trust my identity and my content to 3rd party islands anymore. This is me and for me and hosted by my dollars.
So here’s to a free, open and federated web.
If you want me, I’m here. Grab the RSS.
I love my RSS reader (Reeder for Mac). Literally hundreds of sites I subscribe to, all categorized for easy reading. It’s the fastest way to digest the largest amount of information.
