[lp-ca-on] article related to federation from Open Whisper Systems

[Rudolf Olah]

there's an interesting article from Open Whisper Systems since we've talked about federation before: https://whispersystems.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving

Some food for thought as I'm trying to get Jabber/XMPP working with federation support (and probably food for thought for Blaise since he's used MediaGoblin?)

>cannibalizing a federated application-layer
protocol into a centralized 
>service is almost a sure recipe for a successful consumer product today. It's
>what Slack did with IRC, what Facebook did with email, and what WhatsApp 
>has done with XMPP.  In each
case, the federated service is stuck in time, 
>while the centralized service is able to iterate into the
modern world and 
>beyond.
