BoonEx Launched WebHome.org Today!
This is our dream project. Something that should change the world once and for all. The biggest thing we have ever done.
WebHome.org is a “movement,” aimed at the creation of a global, decentralised, open social network that is not tied to any specific company, software or website.
We have been working on WebHome prototypes for a few months now, but decided to launch the site earlier than planned, because of the recent raise of interest in this subject, after the posts about Diaspora.
Some projects that exist now (Status.net, DiSo, Noserub, etc) or are promised to be started soon (Diaspora) offer tools, protocols, solutions and software. We build on top of some of their developments and try to choose the best ways to actually move from talk to walk.
WebHome is not tied to any platform in particular. We believe that we should find the ways to connect any site as a WebHome, even profiles of existing social networks.
We already have some working prototypes and BoonEx pledged to invest $200,000 for the first stage of the development and will support WebHome thereafter.
BoonEx is in community software development business for 10 years already. We have over 60,000 customers worldwide and our software is downloaded over 500 times every day. Our developers have experience and understanding of how social networks work and in how to write code.
