Pondering the "open social web" as a phrase as opposed to " #fediverse" (as just used by @Sarahp in her latest piece on Techcrunch.)

I think it works. Merely "the social web" doesn't work IMHO because that would include the walled Facebook garden, if you use it with a web browser, and that's not what we want to say.

I've been playing with "the social web of peers" but that is rather complicated.

"#Open #social #web" also plays on the "open web" which is a term with a long history.

Thoughts?

@j12t When I first started crowing about the "fediverse" to my teenage kids, they both were utterly nonplussed because they thought I was talking about the U.S. government.

I wish we could come up with a one-word moniker. I love naming things and could spend way too many hours brainstorming ideas, ha!
