+It seems that many people can only envision the internet the the distorted perception of social networking. So let's get a few things straight. Is the Red Matrix a social network? No. That's like saying your car is an air-conditioner. Your car may have an air conditioner, but that isn't its prime function. Its prime function is a transportation device. The Red Matrix has some very advanced communication technology embedded in it, (much more advanced than many so-called social networks), and one can do social network things with it (quite well in fact); but its prime function is a decentralised identity-aware publishing platform. More on that in a minute. Decentralised privacy aware communications between channels is just another feature we provide. +
+The Red Matrix is a decentralised network where people are in charge and the size of your server farm and wealth do not offer any comparable advantage. Anybody may participate on a level playing field. Cloud storage, file sharing, communications, content creation and management belong to everybody and can be shared with anybody (or somebody, or nobody). This is only a representative sample of the services we plan to offer. In an internet where creativity is allowed to flourish and corporate overlords have no power, the door is open to entirely new forms of expression and applications. The Red Matrix software is free and open source; created by volunteers and distributed under the MIT license.
