Zoom acquired Keybase today.
Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.
Beware the Keybase formula:
1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded -
Oh wow Wink are suddenly moving to a model of charging $4.99 a month to use the hubs that people bought, and disabling all access for anyone who doesn't sign up with only a week's notice: https://blog.wink.com/

Hey @zoom_us since #zoombombing is such a problem, in the waiting room, why can’t I SEE who’s trying to get in? No camera on, no access to my conference. Seems pretty simple. Most trolls won’t ever show their face.
