love the skipity privacy policy! :D<br>
<br>
it sounds like a great book tomi; i am still travelling heaps &
only just managing to stay on top of everything so i'm hesitant to
commit to helping, also i'm a really bad "social media" user - just
don't have the time or the need! but it sounds like a book i'd love
to read, & i'm a great proofreader :)<br>

Seems like social media is pretty much global now, both the
proprietary and open source versions? Finland had local
proprietary microblogging services like Jaiku and Qaiku, but they
lost most of the users to Twitter. Which is funny, since Twitter
is either overloaded or feels like 2000 people sending you SMS
messages at the same time. Status.net could easily be the sane and
more focused alternative without excessive information overload?<br>
<br>
But then again lookie look what we are doing here: Using the
ancient social media known as "the mailing list." The manual
should point out that the internet is a social media by default. <br>
