      If anybody can patent it, it’s the W3C who holds it.

      Aaron Swartz was working on self hosted social media before ycombinator merged his product with what became reddit.

      Facebook is a little too late to the game to get any credit.

        Technically Mark was late to the game on social media* but he just fucked the guys over who made FB and took it for himself…
