Fascinating to watch multiple VC funded companies try so desperately to copy Are.na, target people who use it, weakly copy our style, say things we’ve been saying for years and pretend they are the first ones to say it.

- My friend, @MindySeu: “I think that the greatest feminist technology has always been the practice of citation, because it shows that everything, in some way, is co-authored, that it was never about the individual hero. Always a collective or community”.How to immortalize a digital movement archived only in links and listservs? @MindySeu spoke with @yanasosna on building a cyberfeminist anti-canon. zine.zora.co/mindy-seu-cybe…
- Replying to @broskoskiAs for Are.na, we are going on 13 years and we aren’t going anywhere. If you want to read more about what motivates us:
- Happy birthdayToday is our 13th birthday. For 13 years, we’ve built and maintained Are.na independently with no institutional investors and sustained only by our members. We’re grateful for your unwavering support. We (quite literally) would not be celebrating our 13 years
are.naAre.naAre.na is a platform for connecting ideas and building knowledge. - Dream compliment
- Replying to @AREdotNAThere is also a new blog post up, a meditation on what keeps us going. are.na/blog/on-motiva…are.naAre.naAre.na is a platform for connecting ideas and building knowledge.
- Just trying to not be embarassed over hereReplying to @kernel_magazineUnlike a typical software startup, @AREdotNA has remained selective with its funding choices. As @broskoski puts it, “what wouldn’t we be embarrassed by?”
- I realized a few days ago that on this day 7 years ago we published Are.na’s first blog post “Information Systems”
- Posting this for posterity and for no reason whatsoever.

- Replying to @broskoskiThe questions you (unfortunately) always need to ask yourself when using new software: “What is this company’s motivation? Can I see them selling to a larger company in x years? Can I trust them?”
