Weekly output: Internet founders in D.C., Tim Berners-Lee at Web Summit, Bluesky account-verification advice
This holiday-shortened week still had a lot of work–just not all the kind that yielded bylines, in some cases not the kind that will yield bylines this year.
11/25/2024: Internet Founders: Open Architectures Are Best, But Big Tech Makes It Difficult, PCMag
As I wrote last week, it’s a treat seeing Internet pioneers speak about how their collective invention has been working out and what we ought to be doing with it.
11/27/2024: The man who gave us the web is building a better digital wallet, Fast Company
My Fast Company editor Harry McCracken asked if I wanted to join him to quiz the inventor of the Web at Web Summit, and I quickly said I’d clear my schedule for that. Like two years ago, Harry asked most of the questions and then wrote up our conversation.
11/29/2024: Real or Imposter? How to Verify That a Bluesky Account Is Legit, PCMag
My inspiration for this how-to came from seeing some bozo try to impersonate Rep. Don Beyer (D.-Va.) on Bluesky, then wondering why my congressman had not domain-verified his account with a house.gov handle, then personally shaming Bay Area Rapid Transit into tweeting its Bluesky handle from its verified X account (BART has since domain-verified its account). My editors then updated the post Sunday with details from posts Friday afternoon by Bluesky’s safety account about how the platform is dealing with this impersonation problem–including a recognition that “users want more ways to verify their identity beyond domain verification.”
