Let me get this straight: I post it here, and it goes everywhere?
Here’s a very fun thing I just got to do: the first-ever federated Verge quickpost! You should be able to see this on The Verge or lots of platforms, and reply here and there and everywhere. The open social future rocks. (But also, just, like, tell me if you saw this, okay? We’re testing stuff.)

This is just the beginning, too: our team is already working on ways to bring all the federated conversation together and make it so everybody can talk to everybody everywhere. It’s gonna take a minute but it’s gonna be SO cool

Hi friends! Happy Thursday, everything is chaos, but quick break: I'm putting together this week's Installer and want to know everything you're into right now. What are you playing / watching / reading / downloading / buying in bulk this week? Tell me so I can tell everyone! (And subscribe to Installer!)
