## Sketch for blog post to Six Apart
--Reaction to the announcement of Movable Type motion--

@johneckman you’re not missing the obvious, Six Apart is.

If you would be introduced to the Movable Type platform through Motion’s release post, you would not even know MTOS existed. That is because SA employs a fundamentally conservative and authoritarian approach to business, in which Open Source can never be anything but an afterthought. This exemplified in the Motion release post, in which a heading reads:

‘Your social networks belong under your control’

But unless you feel you have the right to tell your friends what to wear and who to sleep with, they do not.

You do not control your social networks, you participate in them. That is why you can only ever hope to get from your community what you give to your community. The part where control comes into the equation, is in shaping <i>your own social presence</i>.

This is the only meaningful way I can interpret the promise of an open web. This is a great promise, and with it comes the potential for service-agnostic apps like Motion that bring you the ability to frame your own online presence in the way that suits you, as opposed to the various ways service providers have laid out for you.

That would enhance the most interesting capability of social networks: the ability to intertwine your own content with that of your peers. By sharing content with the people you feel connected with, you allow each others concepts to take on new meaning, which is an enriching experience.

The thing I could not care less for however, is for anyone implementing my data in his own top-down concoction. Aggregating, harvesting, leveraging the power of social networks, user-contributed content, whatever you call it: it all boils down to companies creating business value with my data.
