We have just launched the first decentralized microblogging platform as part of MaskNetwork (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annmskmasknetwork-the-decentralized-social-network-that-pay-users-to-post-1272309). It's the twitter with no central server / authority, 140 characters limit, cenzorship and so on...
To test it choose a web node and go to tweets.
How it works :---------------------------------------------------------
1. An user post a tweet. He / she can attach up to 5 pics.
2. The "tweet" packet is broadcasted to all nodes.
3. Once included in a block the "tweet" will become visible on all web nodes.
Same rules apply for follow, unfollow, comments or like data packets.
Advantages : ----------------------------------
- No central server
- No central authority holding the personal data of hundreds of millions of users.
- No censorship (Web node operators can only "hide" content, but when 200-300 web nodes will be active completely censoring a post will become almost impossible, no matter the content.)
- As easy to use as the real twitter. There are no usability differences. Nothing to download. You can follow, unfollow, post comments or setup a profile for each address (Sample :

- No content restrictions but i'm sure node operators will "filter" really illegal posts.
