@mike asks @evan: why is social software important?
Evan: it's not just Twitter and Facebook etc. Social connections are the very heart of our lives: how we connect with friends, find jobs, interact with others and many others. He says he tried to walk away from social software multiple times in his life, but somehow always returns to it because it's so important.
@evan the most surprising thing that happened in social software in the last 12 months was the launch of #Threads and the promised support of #ActivityPub.
