APIs on the Web have a place, but @aral is spot on about how “open” they are. They aren’t. http://bit.ly/U7LoAd
@agentGav @stshank They just happen to be independent solutions not sponsored by corporate surveillors or Cameron. #indietech

@aral I'm sorry, please explain that comment? -
@agentGav We don’t accept sponsorship from corporate surveillors ala Google/Facebook or partake in Cameron’s data privatisation initiatives. -
@aral do you have a whitelist and a blacklist? what are the criteria for selection? -
@agentGav It’s simple: we don’t have ties to companies whose business model is corporate surveillance. -
@aral I'm still not sure I get it. Is this "a tie"? https://www.facebook.com/aralbalkan@agentGav -
@williamheath@agentGav Let’s see, are they sponsoring me? *checks bank account* Nope. Not a tie. -
-
@williamheath@agentGav We will use the existing networks to our advantage & we will wean people off of them. Disconnecting isn’t the answer
