How the Web Became Unreadable
I thought my eyesight was beginning to go. It turns out, I’m suffering from design.
How Twitter Got Angry
As Twitter attempts to stem abuse, a look back at the service's earlier design shows how it became so ripe for it.

Public Sevice Internet notes
Solana Larsen: I'm worried about the global dystopian surveillance society, and anyone who reads the newspaper can see this now - free speech, freedom of movement everything is at risk
Mapcamp notes
Simon Wardley: I would love for people to find better ways of mapping - mine are primitive and I made them creative commons so someone else can fix them.
XOXO notes
jonny sun: I've been thinking about tweets as things that create conversation spaces - you create a little micro community in the replies to a tweet
Teacamp: Jacqui Taylor on GDPR
Dr Jacqui Taylor: GDPR is about building our web world with privacy at the core - so citizens can trust us
Thinking Digital
Sarah Wiseman: when my friend finally bought her house, I responded with 🎏🎏🎏carp streamers - I then realised that this was only a celebratory emoji for me and my sister. Just as 2 people can listen to the same audio clip and one hear Yanny and the other Laurel, they can look at the same emoji and see a different meaning.
Future Blockchain Summit Dubai
Jamie Burke: The hedge funds will come in and crash the crypto token market. All the senior partners are waiting on the sidelines to enter this market, but there is not enough liquidity for them - they will break the market when they come in.
Future Blockchain Summit Dubai
Wesam Lootah: Yes, blockchain was not invented in Dubai, Satoshi Nakomoto is not a Dubai citizen. We want to be the blockchain capital of the world. If you have spent any time in Dubai over the last 10 years you can see that we make big promises and we deliver
Jeremy Silver and Jeremy Bailenson on 'Experience on Demand'
Jeremy Bailenson: Start with a problem that needs to be solved, if VR or AR helps to solve it, great. Don't use the technology for the sake of it
Future Social Media - Digital Catapult
Mark Little: When I went to work at twitter I started to see the antithesis further - big platforms are a contradiction. We are rows of corn to be harvested by big companies into data and sold to advertisers. So we need synthesis - what do we do? Do we leave it to platforms or governments to fix this?
GDPR and Media Innovation - Digital Catapult
Kathryn Geels: Half of web users are faking their data due to security fears. Lawyers have told me that anyone who says they are 100% GDPR compliant is either lying or doesn't understand the regulations

Grigor : I haven't heard of indieweb before - I understand that you don't want to be bound to a specific platform and I like it
Twitter’s Nazi Filter
It's not something that Twitter advertise, but they do have a built-in Nazi-blocking filter.
Long Finance notes
Michael Mainelli: I have never seen a new technology take out an existing technology - even landlines are taking their time to go. The role of governance is to help us through these transitions of technology
Homebrew Website Club London notes
Calum Le Tour 🚴🏻: This is the 1st anniversary of Homebrew Website Club London
OpenTech
Jeni Tennison: Sam asked me to round out the day with vision things, look at the future, be optimistic
Byte The Future
Jonathan Rivers: Innovation Theater - all the fancy gadgets in the lab to look cool - a MS surface table, a 3d printer for some reason. There is more innovation in a stack of post-its than in a room full of fancy gadgets
Newspaper firms must face heavy fines over extremist content – MPs
An inquiry by the Commons home affairs committee condemns Newspaper companies for failing to tackle hate speech.
Mastodon, Twitter and publics
Long ago, I wrote about the theory of social sites, with the then-young Twitter as the exemplar. As Mastodon, GnuSocial and other federated sites have caught some attention recently, I thought I'd revisit these theories.
Homebrew Website Club SF notes
EJ Harkness: The amazing thing about the internet is that it is everything - no-one cares whether it is MIT or oxford or my brain. If we have some stable means of establishing identity we can compare your history of what you say
Microservices Summit
Rafi Schloming: Start with the people and think how to divide up the work first, let that lead to the technical perspective

Next Economy notes
Paul English: when the human agent overrides the AI, that's when the AI learning kicks in

Homebrew Website Club SF notes
Jean M Russell: how do you make pooping OK? Unicorns and soft serve
Distributed verification
Now, we already have the rel="me" standard for linking between different sites to show that you own them both. Its been around for 13 years, and is widely adopted. How about we make it into a badge?

Homebrew Website Club notes
Dmitri Shuralyov: I discovered indieweb a week ago, and the values and motivations were thinking along the same lines. I found indieweb through someone's personal website.
Decentralized Web Summit
Dan Gillmor: it's about more than a decentralized web, but about control too - net neutrality may be a short term victory
Decentralized Web Summit
Tim Berners-Lee: Incremental change and only adding the pieces that we needed was key. It was never clear that the web would take off, but it did
Decentralized Web Summit
Mitchell Baker: If we can keep Immediate Open Universal Agency then the web remains decentralized

Tantek Çelik:Webmention is now a Candidate Recommendation for w3c which is kind of a big deal we incubated and developed webmention in the indieweb community and brought it over to the SocialWG at w3c
When u- means <style>
I'd suggest if you are going to do this kind of thing, use a prefix of hack- or style- instead.

Sandro: what stops me from having a website is that I have lots of different websites
