I honestly dont get it. Is it a tool that allows you to communicate one to many within an organization? Seems like that already has a large number of solutions with huge user bases. What is the magic dust that makes this interesting to adopt?

Just another [mini]blogging setup. Idk why wordpress + rss would be worse

I haven't gotten too far into this article, but I've long thought it would be a good idea if people had their "stuff" on devices they control, then they "subscribe" themselves into networks. You choose what's visible, and every other joiner of that network sees it as part of their "wall" (or whatever other display there might be).

And now that I've read it, yeah, this is getting closer. You could have an app you can write in, centralized in your stuff (Syncthing style, maybe), then everything that's tagged e.g. "work" is made available on what here is a Slack puller, but could be anything.

This is a good move by Intel, they need to catch up to AMD in the embedded and automotive markets. Tesla making the move from Intel to AMD SOCs wasn't a good look for them.

Looks handy for large orgs and would fit well integrated with similar social-network-style internal comms tools.

When I read this I had to do a double-take that I missed something. What divisive topic?? Oh it's NFTs. Who cares.

I don't know. If we shitposted about NFTs in our corporate blog and any potential customers were offended, then... seems fine to me? I can think of infinite worse topical things to post.

Aside, we've turned away potential customers that are too tied with crypto as we do not want to be associated broadly with that space.
