Comment to Integrations Hell

  • In fact we have three different government projects reps researching UNA as a platform for their “our own Facebook alternative”. Not so good if it’s just a state controlled social network, but great for various government projects like social initiatives, support networks, immigration assimilation networks, educational and informational hubs.

    • Pethol - this sound like a fascinating project. I see vast potential in merging social communities with purposeful activities - particularly eductation, but there could be many others, such as project management, and as you suggest, accessing Govt services.
      This is where we see UNA going in the next 12 months. Using education as an example - imagine Moodle meets Facebook - in a developing country like Cambodia, the school curriculum, or parts of it, could be published and accessed via the social network, we, so if I was a HS student, I could join the Year 9 Group and the activity from my school curriculum, would come into my social feed, along with all the regular social stuff - promoting  participation, interaction & conversation. I could then seamlessly then jump into this area, talk to fellow students, submit assignments, complete quizzes, check results etc...
      This is just a rough sketch of the idea, but we hope to focus our attention on creating something like this in 2019.

      • This is very interesting. And I am so lucky that I can apply the concepts so we can see how govt and the people react to it.
        We have a little war going on in Cambodia, between the Govt and a 'rebel' faction(CNRP). We just found out that the rebel faction has people working in FaceBook and they are disabling targeted profiles. I was deleted from FB just an hour ago. This is one of the reasons a closed national network is important. It minimizes cyber terrorism.

        The story of Cambodia is complicated and there is a lot of propaganda bullshit out. What I discovered was that organized crime wanted political control of Cambodia and still does a great effort to do so. So they make big waves in the international waters. Lately several depots of weapons and explosives has been uncovered. The 'rebels' are arming up for civil war.
        What I hope, is that this network bridge, will be part of the solution to stabilize Cambodia and avoid another civil war.
        At the end - maybe - UNA is what caused world peace...
