The value of nettime is that each thread provides its own format and scene.
There are no comfortable and stable hooks. There is no web interface, it
lives completely distributed. I am not aware of anything similar.

I never thought that there were 4000 subscribers - I assumed several
hundred. It makes me a bit uncomfortable that these 409 characters will
multiply into 1.6 megabytes in the next few hours.
