In mid-2008, ReadWriteWeb expands its writing team (including two future tech blogging stars) and I put some much needed structure into the business. Also, we ink a syndication deal with The New York Times. https://cybercultural.com/p/035-indie-media-business-20/ #InternetHistory #Web20 #Serialization

Remember when we thought Twitter was the key to democracy? 😂 It's March 2010 and the Paley Center hosts an event in NYC starring Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and your humble RWW editor. We're discussing the future of democracy. https://cybercultural.com/p/046-ai-weiwei-event-march-2010/ #InternetHistory #Web20 #Democracy

You know what? Whenever people may ask me why I heart #Mastodon big time and why I'm no longer interested in traditional enshittified #SocialMedia tools, I'm going to start sharing this fabulous blog post by @timbray that pretty much nails it, as far as I am concerned.
In fact, for those folks who were using Twitter circa 2006 to 2010 it's a lovely trip down the memory lane of what #Web20 promised back then 👌🏻😎
