Eugen RochkoHappy to be a launch partner of the Social Web Foundation (@swf). Excited to see other organizations being built to push the fediverse forward!
Marta Threadbare@Gargron @swf excuse me, but why does fedi need an entrepierner product director, or a product director at all?
Evan Prodromou@cygnathreadbare @Gargron @swf What a great question!
I think the big thing Tom brings to the Social Web Foundation is a focus on user experience. What makes the Fediverse hard to use? What keeps people from enjoying it to its fullest, or using it to make their lives better and more fulfilling? Tom will be part of all the work we do at the SWF, but he's especially going to focus on tools and plumbing to make being on the Fediverse better.
@cygnathreadbare @Gargron @swf One of the big questions we want to investigate is how people can find and connect to their friends and family on the Fediverse (if they want to). We used to have some pretty good Twitter-based tools for quickly bootstrapping your social graph, but with changes in the Twitter API and its pricing, they really dried up.
