  • Small Web

    The Small Web is a web where each one of us can own and control our own places. At these places, we can choose to either be public or, importantly, communicate with each other privately. This decentralised, peer-to-peer web of sovereign individuals stands in stark contrast to the Big Web we have today which – at least in the experience of most everyday people who use technology as an everyday thing – comprises a tiny number of centralised trillion-dollar corporate silos heavily influenced by the whims of a handful of billionaires. As such, the Small Web is an effort to encourage a separate evolution of the web that empowers individuals (instead of corporations and governments) in an effort to safeguard human rights and democracy in the age of the global digital network. In this talk, I will introduce you to the Small Web (including how it differs from the mainstream Big Web), explain its challenges and potential, and demonstrate how Small Web sites can be built using Kitten and hosted using Domain (both experimental tools I’m developing at Small Technology Foundation).
