Like E-Mail, OpenAutonomy doesn't rely on a centralized server owned by a specific company so you can use the system while maintaining as much control as you would like. Sign up with a host you like or download the code and run your own server. Everyone is a first-class user, no matter what server they call home.
Learn about Storage...Like E-Mail, OpenAutonomy doesn't require that you have an account on each server in order to communicate with users there. Every user can interact as first-class entities, no matter where they live. Choose which users to trust or even build complex trust groups to give you fine-grained control over who can access what content you create, no matter where they live.
Learn about Social...With OpenAutonomy, you can attach applications and services from multiple different web sites or even interact directly from native applications on your home computer, seamlessly. OpenAutonomy finally allows you to personally benefit from the breadth and depth of the internet, all while giving you the control to maintain your privacy.
Across the internet...Easily add OpenAutonomy support to your applications to immediately add the benefits of distributed cloud services.
Avoid user management on your web site by using OpenAutonomy remote login (like OpenID but with extensibility).
Pitch new web applications to OpenAutonomy users without needing them to create new account or migrate their data. Only build what you want and leave the rest to the network.
Beyond open source...
