The Institute for Digital Public Infrastructure studies the potential of the internet as a resource for the public good as an alternative to profit-making ventures. Think of this as the contrast between commercial television and public television or radio. I think of some of the concepts advanced by this organization as a return to what I used to call the Participatory Web or Web 2.0. The organization will offer academic papers, a podcast series, and gobo.social which uses your Facebook and Twitter feeds to demonstrate how algorithms can influence what you see. If you listen to podcasts and are interested in the future of the Internet, I have enjoyed the focus of this podcast.
