Rabble (Evan Henshaw-Plath) on using the decentralised web to support social movements and helping create Twitter
Description
Ever wondered about the origins of Twitter and the role of social media in movements?
I got the chance to sit down with Rabble (Evan Henshaw-Plath) who was there at the start as the first employee of the company that created Twitter. We talk about that but begin with the early days in Northern California growing up as a child of hippies and counterculture thought that and being immersed in that as a child.
We also talk about computers back when that was a new tech, the internet and what social movements can use technology for, including current project Nos and also Causes. We also talk about the Edmund Hillary Fellowship which we are both part of.
This was a fascinating conversation and if you enjoy it why not check out the 400+ others in earlier episodes of seeds which is trying to create a database of life stories that we can all learn from. For more on the project visit www.theseeds.nz
