Farcaster

I am re-reading Eugen Wei's "Status as a Service (StaaS)". One of the most insightful pieces on social networks I've ever read. This paragraph currently stands out as I read through this great blog post. 

"What ties many of these explanations together is social capital theory, and how we analyze social networks should include a study of a social network's accumulation of social capital assets and the nature and structure of its status games. In other words, how do such companies capitalize, either consciously or not, on the fact that people are status-seeking monkeys, always trying to seek more of it in the most efficient way possible?"  

What makes @farcaster interesting are the multitude of social capital assets and status games to accumulate those assets.

Thank you my friend, much appreciated. I think this is a regular read. I’m on my third read over the past 12 months.
