Ben Werdmuller references "a lovely piece about Mike McCue, who, through Flipboard, Surf, and his general activities through the community, has become one of the open social web's most important figures." He points out that while Surf is different from them, it's not forcing people to make a technology choice. "This is the point that A New Social is making too: it's not about picking a protocol, because the protocols can easily be joined together." This is a refreshing change from silos like Facebook and X/Twitter. Closed access systems, like authoritarian governments, may seem to make things better for a while, but as Jonathan Last writes, "no empire can survive the degeneration of its people."
