Facebook is turning into AOL – it wants to be ‘the internet’. Berlin startups are trying to do the opposite: they can do one thing really well. They’re ahead of the curve in the –- this sounds awful –- the antisocial movement. It’s about dividing into real use cases that people want, and giving people control again.”

Thank god someone else sees the FB-AOL degradation! It gives me hope that someone will dev an independent social platform that will work like P2P for our RL relationships. When I can make it work the way I want it and not sell my life to marketers to do it, will be the day social really arrives!

Go get em Germany!

Very much liked the comparison to London.
