The goals of The Small Technology Foundation are very laudable. I hope more people will follow them closely. They're allies in the fight against #BigWeb. Think #SmallWeb and big privacy.

Super interesting video about the rise and fall of deviantART — I had no idea that a former Disney exec was a part of the inception of the site.
