We're excited to announce new community features on SpaceBoard!

Below each transmission you will find three brand new icons which you can click on:

  1. Relay
    Let your personal network know about something noteworthy you read somewhere on SpaceBoard: simply click on the Relay icon below a transmission to relay it to your own Board, sharing it with everybody you have created a Link with!

  2. Comments
    Finally, you can comment on that transmission of your favourite lander's crash on Mars to tell the experts how it could have been saved. Simply click on the Comment icon below and let the geek talk begin!

  3. Starring
    Highlight transmissions you deem particularly interesting by clicking on the Star icon below. Let everyone know, that this is a must-read!


We hope you will enjoy these features as much as we do!



P.S.: Did you notice? Link URLs in your transmission are finally clickable! No more copy-pasting into your browser's address bar.

Return of the Constellations - A Case for the Internet

Connecting everyone is an important step in the right direction, of course, but internet connectivity is only a small part of the problem. To make any kind of substantial impact here, one would need technology that can actually work, a way of delivering this technology effectively and efficiently, and a means of reaching all of the end users. What will be important is how this can play out – there is enough space in the market for different solutions at different stages of the connectivity graph to coexist. In a sense, there is a need to make this about the internet of people, rather than the internet of things.
