With nearly 30 years working for the federal government, with the last 15 years spent working as the Public Information Officer, I understand the need to continually keep your client top-of-mind in today's technological environment and maintain a competitive edge.

Community-Building & Connection in Web3
According to a recent Washington Post article, for creators, community is the new follower count. That's especially true in web3, which is all about community. Community-building involves creating a sense of belonging around shared values among a group of individuals.

The Next Big Thing In 2023 Is Decentralized Social Networking
From the desk of Li Jin, Co-Founder & General Partner at Variant The next big thing in 2023 is decentralized social networking. We're finally beginning to see users waking up en masse to the risks of centralized social networking companies, not least catalyzed by the recent threatened ban of TikTok and Twitter's capricious suspensions and prohibiting linking out to other platforms. Users, creators, and businesses have realized that it's dangerous to invest in building an audience on these platforms when there's a looming risk that the rug gets pulled out from under them. We're at a moment where there is a collective sense of "We’ve lived with the existing paradigm of closed social platforms for 15 years. What comes next?" I think we'll see a decentralized social network start to gain steam in the next year that allows users to own their social graph and content and port it across various applications. We'll also see more creators experimenting with web3 tools that allow them to reach their audience in a platform-less way, i.e. through tokens acting as a new kind of social graph.
