In this episode of @RevolnDotSocial I sat down with Ben to talk about that history and his work since then, including his current job as technology director of @propublica.

The same year that Mark Zuckerberg made TheFacebook a university of Edinburgh student, @benwerd made Elgg, a very similar site to connect students. It was open source and has been used by governments, universities, and social movements around the world, but not for genocide.
