“So many people are worried that technology is mediating us, but I think it’s just giving us a new way to hang out with our friends,” says Salzberg, co-creator of Makr.io, a “collaborative Web remixing tool” where users try to one-up each other by posting funny captions on pictures, a la lolcats.
We last heard from Salzberg as one of the creators of Diaspora, the highly anticipated, crowdfunded, open-source distributed social network that was going to take on Facebook. Makr.io is a Diaspora project.
