Thanks to the rise of the open social web, it's more viable than ever for creators to take back ownership and control of the distribution of their work, their connection to their audiences, and their livelihoods overall. Real alternatives to walled-garden platforms aren't just theoretical ideas — they're here, and getting stronger every day.No one knows this better than Molly White, the researcher, writer and software engineer behind the Citation Needed newsletter and the project Web3 Is Going Just Great. Molly's not only an outspoken advocate for an open, ethical web, she's also cracked the code on being a successful, autonomous creator herself. During this conversation with Flipboard CEO Mike McCue, recorded live at SXSW 2025 on March 9, 2025, White explains her setup, philosophy, and learnings, and takes smart questions from the audience at the end.Highlights include discussions of:Importance of owning your online identityStrategies for digital ownershipMoving content freely without platform constraintsMonetization and sustainable modelsVideo content, e-commerce, surveillance capitalism Mentioned in this episode:GhostCory Doctorow's talk, “Tensions in Creative Labor & Generative AI”

In episode 696, Megan chats with Barbara Curry about how she launched a wildly successful second food blog that reached 100,000 monthly pageviews within months of starting. Barbara is the creator of Butter & Baggage and Easy Southern Desserts, where she shares her passion for approachable, home-cooked Southern recipes. She started Butter & Baggage in 2014, bringing decades of experience to help home cooks create delicious meals with confidence. In 2024, she launched Easy Southern Desserts to focus exclusively on indulgent, foolproof sweets inspired by Southern traditions. Through her blogs, she combines tested recipes with practical tips to make baking and cooking both stress-free and enjoyable. In this episode, you'll learn what it takes to start and grow a second blog while maintaining momentum with an existing one, including identifying a viable niche, gaining traffic and dividing your focus efficiently. Key points discussed include: - Identify a market gap before you begin: Barbara saw an untapped niche in Southern desserts and used her experience to fill it strategically. - Start with intention and strategy: From day one, she planned content, SEO, and marketing to get traffic fast without cannibalizing her first blog. - Leverage existing resources: She used her first blog's audience and email list to kick-start traffic and grow her second blog's email subscribers. - Be cautious with cross-linking: Barbara used no-follow links between blogs to stay in line with Google's link spam guidelines. - Focus on one platform at a time: She prioritized Pinterest over other social platforms to simplify her promotional efforts and increase traffic. - Utilize alternative traffic sources: Platforms like MSN, Flipboard, and Kit Creator Profiles brought early traffic boosts before Google rankings picked up. - Know when to outsource: Hiring help for writing, tech setup, Pinterest, and even cupcake decorating freed her to focus on what she does best. - Be realistic about the workload: Running two blogs is double the work—Barbara emphasizes the importance of efficiency, batching, and having a plan.

Though the original promise of the internet has been twisted and distorted, today we're seeing more and more people working to restore decentralization and user power online.

Si l'orgasme féminin peut être plus capricieux à atteindre, il a au moins l'avantage de pouvoir se répéter en boucle. Chez les hommes, en revanche, c'est souvent une affaire de "one shot". Du moins, en apparence. Car non, le multi-orgasme masculin n'est pas une légende urbaine. S'il reste peu étudié par les scientifiques, certains hommes en sont bel et bien capables. Il en existerait même deux variantes : le multi-orgasme sporadique, qui survient par surprise, et le condensé, où les plaisirs s'enchaînent à un rythme soutenu. Et si vous n'êtes dans aucune de ces catégories ? Rassurez-vous, avec un peu d'entraînement et quelques techniques bien rodées, il est tout à fait possible de repousser ses limites… Est-ce vraiment possible d'avoir plusieurs orgasmes à la suite quand on est un homme ?

n 2007, the hashtag was a simple, yet revolutionary, idea that changed the way we organize and amplify content. Today, it is either endangered or more useful than ever, depending on whom you talk to. On the open social web, hashtags are an important unifying mechanism — not just for content but for people too. Why is that? How did we get here? What's next for this small but mighty feature and for the web at large? Here to tell us is Chris Messina, the inventor of the hashtag, the creator of the DiSo Project, and the No. 1 hunter on Product Hunt. In this episode, Messina goes wide to explain where this next 20-year cycle of the internet is taking us.

Seul.e, à deux, à trois, ou à plus, le sexe anal peut se pratiquer de beaucoup de manières différentes. La pratique connaît par ailleurs de plus en plus d'adeptes ou du moins, se démocratise de plus en plus dans nos conversations. Une étude Ifop réalisée en mars 2021, indique que 51% des femmes en France ont déjà expérimenté la sodomie, contre 43% en Allemagne et 35% au Royaume-Uni. Ces chiffres démontrent une fois de plus que les pratiques sexuelles se diversifient et avec elles, la pénétration anale, dont la popularité explose selon un article du Guardian repéré par Slate. Une démocratisation qui serait en partie liée à la diffusion de séries telles que Sex & the city ou plus récemment, Fleabag.   Quels soucis peut-on rencontrer par exemple ? Comment pratiquer le sexe anal en toute sécurité ? Mais alors, faut-il procéder à un lavement anal avant un rapport intime ? Ecoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez ". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Emilie Drugeon. Première diffusion : 27 septembre 2022. A écouter aussi : Sexe sans sentiments : bonne ou mauvaise idée ?

Vous préférez faire l'amour le matin ou le soir ? A 11h ou 20h ? Un sondage réalisé par le journal anglais "The Daily Mail" a révélé qu'il existe bel est bien une heure idéale pour faire l'amour. En tout, 500 hommes et 500 femmes anglais âgés de 18 à 65 ans ont été interrogés sur leurs habitudes sexuelles en termes d'horaire et d'intensité du plaisir. Si un moment particulier est ressorti de ce sondage, c'est parce qu'à certaines heures de la journée, et même de la semaine, les hormones féminines et masculines atteignent leur niveau le plus haut. Cela améliore la qualité du rapport sexuel en termes de ressenti et libère davantage d'endorphine, l'hormone du plaisir. Que disent concrètement les résultats de l'étude ? Quelle est l'heure idéale pour faire l'amour ? Y a-t-il un jour de la semaine plus propice qu'un autre ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez".

Malgré les campagnes de prévention, l'alcool continue de faire des ravages. Particulièrement en France, où la consommation est très ancrée dans nos pratiques culturelles. En 2019, 3,5 milliards de bouteilles ont été consommées, ce qui fait de nous le deuxième consommateur mondial de vin, juste derrière les Etats-Unis. En 2019, l'alcool aurait entraîné la mort de 41000 personnes dont 16 000 cas de cancer, selon les chiffres de Santé Publique France. Parfois, sans s'en rendre compte, certains flirtent avec la dépendance. On parle alors d'alcoolisme mondain. La consommation ne dépasse pas quelques verres par jour mais presque tous les jours. Dans ce cas, la régularité devient problématique.  Comment savoir si on consomme trop d'alcool ? Comment faire pour résister ? Et que faire en cas de perte de contrôle ? Ecoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé".
