- One of my favorite Engelbart sayings might relate to the ‘Mastodon is too confusing to learn’ claim. Paraphrasing, he said that if ease of use was the ultimate aim for a tool, the bicycle would never have evolved beyond the tricycle.

There was a beautiful moment there where blogs weren’t indexed by Google and we were building a truly community-centric product, with tag pages and a blog directory and plans for way more.
